Abstract

The article is devoted to the current problems of the development of agricultural service cooperatives in Ukraine. It emphasizes the need for initiative groups to take into account non-economic factors that negatively affect the implementation of the idea of creating a cooperative in the environment of agricultural producers, in particular, farmers. The article presents factors that make it impossible to create a successful cooperative ("unreadiness factors" of potential cooperative participants). They determine the effect of "scissors" between the objective need for cooperation of small and medium-sized agricultural producers and their real readiness to do so. Such factors are characteristic of the Ukrainian cooperative movement, and determine the need to develop a set of relevant measures. Thus, in order to develop a step-by-step plan of educational activities and "psychological training" of potential members, it is proposed to carry out a special factor analysis. The expediency of introducing new terms into scientific circulation is indicated. In particular, the economic need for the creation of a service cooperative is tentatively proposed to be called the "N-factor" (English need), and the socio-psychological readiness to create a cooperative - the "R-factor" (English readiness). At the same time, the factors characterizing the "R-factor" should be assigned a numerical index (for example, from 1 to 3, where 1 is "insignificant impact", 2 - "medium impact", 3 - "significant impact"). The obtained sum of points will indicate the degree of unpreparedness of potential founders to create a cooperative and the scale of the necessary response to eliminate them. It is emphasized that after the cooperation experts implement a set of measures aimed at the maximum reduction of the "R-factor" factors, it will be possible not only to make a decision about the possibility of creating an effective cooperative, but also to achieve a significant increase in its "viability". This will contribute to the development and strengthening of the Ukrainian cooperative movement in the agrarian sector of the economy, which will generally have a positive impact on the development of the farms of small and medium-sized landowners.
