Annotation

The article is devoted to the study of the functioning of agricultural service cooperatives. The peculiarities of functioning of agricultural service cooperatives on the example of servicing machine-tractor cooperatives are presented and the feasibility of their creation is established. In the conditions of underfunding of agricultural production, the role of agricultural cooperation, which allows small commodity producers to survive in modern conditions, is considered. It was established that service machine-tractor cooperatives secure the optimal use of machines and aggregates in the most tense agrotechnical terms, and they support an increase in the efficiency of production at farms, reducing costs per unit of performed work. The cooperative operation in agricultural production is considered in the context of international and historical experience. The analysis of historical experience discovered that machine-tractor stations of the Soviet era were an intermediate form of organization of the use of machinery, which secured more efficient use of them under a relatively small fleet of cars. The article presents analysis of the organizational foundations for the establishment of agricultural service cooperatives. It is established that the service type of agricultural co-operation is not well developed in Ukraine, and the legislative regulation of those cooperatives activity needs to be expanded. The research supplies foreign experience of support for agricultural co-operation abroad. It is determined that establishment of service cooperatives contributes to saving of money by farms, providing them with high-quality technical services, and also has a certain social effect, i.e. creation of new workplaces, etc.

Key words
