DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL AGRIBUSINESS ENTITIES OF THE REGION IN THE AGRICULTURAL COOPERATION SYSTEM

. Small agribusiness entities occupy an important place in the development of the Russian agro-industrial complex, their role is undeniable in ensuring food security of the country, integrated development of rural areas. The functioning and development of small and medium enterprises in the Russian Federation, including by regions, to a greater extent occurs separately, but higher rates of production and financing can be achieved in the agricultural cooperation system. An important aspect in this regard is the fact that recently the state has been supporting those small agricultural businesses that continue their development in the system of agricultural cooperation, whose financing for the development of the material and technical base from the state reaches 70 million rubles. The role of small enterprises is undeniable in the development of rural areas, which has recently been given great importance at the state level. By placing their activities in rural areas, employment in rural areas is ensured, social infrastructure is developed, and the quality of life of rural residents is improved. In connection with the implementation of the enormous tasks assigned to small agribusiness entities, it is important to support both beginning and existing rural entrepreneurs in their desire to work on the land, most often not so profitable, but they are the ones who largely determine the future of the Russian village. Along with providing financial support to rural entrepreneurs, it is necessary to organize other forms of support, especially information and consulting. Despite the fact that in the Republic of Tatarstan in 2019-2023 the number of agricultural consumer cooperatives increased by 1.5 times, their revenue increased by more than 5 times, and net profit - by 8.9 times. Currently, various educational projects are in particular demand among rural entrepreneurs, since in order to use the resources provided by the state for the development of their business, in addition to the financial component, it is important to be able to correctly distribute them for expanded reproduction. Further effective development of small agribusiness entities in the region is expected in the system of agricultural cooperation; the problem of involving new members should be solved through active propaganda, explaining the advantages and preferences of cooperatives, holding training seminars and meetings, webinars, online and offline consultations, etc.
