- Abstract:
- In the present article, we propose an approach to identifying the barriers that hinder the development of purchasing activities of cooperatives in the Chelyabinsk region and the functioning of consumer cooperative enterprises. The analysis allowed us to attribute to such barriers of internal nature for the cooperative sector: systematically low profitability of cooperatives' activity in the sphere of trade, low attractiveness of cooperatives for the economically active population as a sphere of competence application (as a consequence, reduction in the number of shareholders), compression of the infrastructure of procurement and realization of agricultural products. The problems of external character should include the general unfavorable state of production systems of agricultural territories in the region.
