The article is devoted to the problems of the cooperative movement. Based on the data of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, the negative dynamics of the development of the cooperative sector of the Russian economy is shown. It is shown that subsidies, grants, comprehensive consulting services, seminars, trainings, and conferences prevail among the main areas of support for cooperatives. Statistical analysis revealed the social cooperatives of the Russian Federation. Most of them are registered as production cooperatives and work in the production of agricultural products and handicrafts. Correlation analysis revealed the relationship between the number of newly established and supported cooperatives as of October 2024.

It may include: providing access to financing and consulting support, information promotion and promotion of the benefits of consumer cooperation among the population, maintaining up-to-date statistics of the cooperative sector in Russia, developing a system for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of cooperatives, providing support and training to members of consumer cooperatives in order to improve the level of professionalism and managerial skills, providing cooperatives with access to the market, the development of a legal framework.
