Analysis of European practice in public administration by the development of rural areas and cooperation

Abstract

The importance of agricultural service cooperatives in the development of rural areas of the EU is growing. There are stable trends of the sustainable development due to their widespread distribution in the agrarian sector. Cooperatives play an important role in the development of rural areas, create new jobs and provide income for members in remote rural areas. In Ukraine, rural areas also have a lot of systemic social and economic problems. In this regard, the search for new ways of developing these areas, including through the expansion of service cooperatives, should become one of the priorities of the state agrarian policy.
