Abstract: Small farms are an integral part of agrarian production of the North Caucasian federal district. In 2017 year 61.6‰ of total amount of the agricultural products produced by farms of all categories of the district, including 28.2‰ of grain, 21.9‰ of sunflower, 78.0‰ of vegetables of the discovered and closed soil, 90.1‰ of potatoes, 59.3‰ of meat of the cattle and a bird, 88.7‰ of milk and 72.3‰ of eggs fall to their share. Despite so considerable outputs, the involvement of subjects of small farms into the sphere of commodity exchange and the system of the food market remains extremely low. For the purpose of further development and growth of efficiency of small business entities in the district in the conditions of multistructure agriculture and strengthening of interaction between various legal forms of managing creation and expansion of a system of agricultural cooperatives is necessary. In the North Caucasian Federal District as of January 1, 2016 438 agricultural consumer cooperatives are registered that makes 7.3‰ of their Russian number from which only 59‰ actually work (across Russia this figure reaches 68‰). Today in the majority of territorial subjects of the Russian Federation, including also North Caucasus federal district, development of small forms is kept within State programme’s actions for 2013-2020. So, for example, in 2017 for 1 rub of gross output, small farms received only 0.8 kopeks of the federal help that it is obviously not enough. At the same time extremely important not only to increase the sizes of the funds allocated by the state but also to provide their effective use.
