Abstract: The article proposes a concept for changing existing approaches in the state policy for the development of agricultural consumer cooperation. Based on the analysis of domestic and foreign scientific papers, the factors constraining the development of cooperation are considered and systematized. It has been revealed that measures to support cooperatives in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation do not solve the problems of overcoming the relevant barriers; they are based primarily on targeted subsidization of the costs of individual cooperatives, which, as the experience of other states shows, is not an effective tool. Examples of the functioning of foreign digital platforms that unite small agricultural producers, whose activities correspond to the functions of consumer cooperation, are considered. The conclusion is made about the expediency of using the capabilities of the platform economy for the development of agricultural consumer cooperation. The key stages of the regional cooperative development program are proposed, suggesting different levels of digital transformation of cooperative processes.
