AGRICULTURAL COOPERATION AS AN INNOVATION FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Oleksandr Shpykuliak, Olena Sакоvska · 2020 · Baltic Journal of Economic Studies

Summary. Agricultural cooperatives serve as a mechanism for integrated rural development in Ukraine, addressing economic and settlement challenges while increasing investment attractiveness. The study analyzes European cooperative models and identifies growth points in Ukrainian rural areas—meat, construction, tourism, and recreational clusters—where cooperatives can reduce costs for members and support small and medium-sized businesses. The research concludes that cooperatives require stronger state institutional support to function effectively as mechanisms for economic self-regulation and rural prosperity.
