Cooperation in the Production of Ecological Agricultural (Organic) Products
摘要
The authors consider the importance and demand for the production of organic products, which are beneficial and employ environmentally friendly production techniques. Examples of successful cooperatives are provided. The issues and prospects of cooperative activities in ecological agriculture are explored. The research aims to justify the need to establish cooperative agricultural associations in the Republic of Bashkortostan. The authors analyzed the structure of agricultural enterprises in the Russian Federation, with two-thirds of them being small. The Unified State Register of Organic Producers of the Russian Federation currently lists 165 organizations. Over the last three years, there has been an annual growth rate of 8–10% in producing such Russian products. The study examines the legal framework, the experience of other regions, particularly the creation of the “Export accelerator of the Central Union of Consumer Societies of the Russian Federation,” established at the federal level to involve small and medium-sized businesses in export activities, especially those without access to foreign markets. The research results indicate the necessity of creating similar associations in the Republic of Bashkortostan.
