The Ministry of Agriculture and Food of Tatarstan pays great attention to the development of agricultural cooperation in the republic. For farmers, joining a cooperative has several benefits. First of all, this is an increase in the profitability of production by combining efforts for the production, storage and processing of products. Secondly, access to credit resources, and, thirdly, the ability to enter large regional and federal trade networks. But effective management is essential for a successful cooperative. This is what everyone is taught within the modular express course "Cooperative manager".
