Abstract

The cooperative system must be neutral from the point of view of own’s interests. Its subjectmatter must fall within the fields of knowledge transfer, agri-food and financial markets. The role of cooperation must receive special attention as support, in order to promote the transfer of knowledge. It must create relations, where there are none, between the producer and the consumer of information, respectively between the agricultural researcher and the farmer who, although they have a major role to play in increasing the performance of the actors in the sector, are missing. The purpose of this paper is to present how associative and cooperative structures can support small subsistence and semi-subsistence farms. The idea is that by expanding cooperation, it is possible to ensure the transfer of knowledge for the economic benefits of all the members of the cooperatives in order to ensure the processing of agricultural products of plant, animal and fish origin and not least for the economic and social development of rural areas.
