Abstract: The article considers agricultural cooperation as one of the key forms of management in agriculture in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Highlighted problems which hindering the development of agricultural cooperation. Presented analysis of the current state of agricultural cooperatives according to the main indicators. Particular attention is paid to state support, in particular, for agricultural consumer cooperatives. About a third of the financial resources of the state program for the development of agriculture in the republic is directed to the development and support of agricultural cooperation, in particular consumer cooperation - a quarter of the allocated funds. This makes the development of agricultural cooperation the main tool to support small forms of management in rural areas, which in turn leads to the fact that the development of agricultural cooperation is the main tool to support agriculture. This comes from the fact that in Yakutia there is a relatively high proportion of the rural population and an atypical structure of agricultural production, where the production of small forms of management strongly predominates over the production of agricultural organizations and is generally ahead of other indicators. Therefore, this is a formal role, but in fact, agricultural consumer cooperation has literally become a measure for providing state support and fulfills this role, pushing the very essence of cooperation somewhere into the background, as evidenced by a small share of participation in agriculture, without taking into account the amount of allocated funds.
