Abstract: Approved in February 2019, the "Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation until 2025" connects the development of agriculture of border geostrategic territories with consumer cooperation. State support and limited own means of producers lead to the creation of consumer cooperatives, the distinctive characteristics of which are, in addition to the purpose of the activity (meeting the material and other needs of the members of the cooperative), joint subsidiary liability, voting on the principle: one member - one vote, distribution of the result and restriction in the activities of associate members. The prevailing interests of associate members lead to an orientation towards investors, that is, capital gains. The creation and functioning of cooperatives should not be formal; true cooperatives could and should improve the efficiency of the production and financial activities of small forms of management of frontier geostrategic territories. In the process of creating a cooperative, it is necessary to strive for homogeneity of its members, since the performance and life expectancy of the cooperative are significantly influenced by the interests of its members and the constantly changing conditions of the external environment. Cooperatives arise only under the influence of urgent need; they cannot be created "from above" using administrative resources. When joining a cooperative, potential members should be clear about what problems can be solved by participating in the cooperative. The principles of the creation and functioning of cooperatives, as reflected in the current federal law, do not fully reflect the specifics of cooperative organizations. The joint subsidiary responsibility of the cooperative members for its obligations and law enforcement practices in this area limit the spread of cooperatives in the industry. Foreign experience demonstrates the possibility of limiting additional responsibility, as well as the presence of cooperatives without additional responsibility.
