The analysis of changes in the number of agricultural consumercooperatives in the agro - industrial complex of Russia for the period 2010-2017 shows a high degree of unevennessof their distribution in the territories of the Russian Federation and Federal districts. The most successful regionsinclude the Lipetsk region, where a three-level system of management of cooperation development is formed on thebasis of the implementation of regional target programs and the functioning of cooperation development institutions.The article assesses the impact of the program "Development of cooperation and collective ownership in the Lipetskregion " on the performance of agricultural marketing, processing and credit consumer cooperatives, as well as thecontribution of cooperatives in the sale of products produced by small farms.
