Abstract. Functioning of agricultural consumer cooperatives, as well as other small farms in the agrarian sphere, is accompanied by many risks and separate destructive factors having a negative influence on their economic activity. The article presents state statistics for 2012–2015 characterizing the condition of economic development of small farms in agrarian and industrial complex on the example of the peasant farms in the Ural Federal District and in general across the Russian Federation. The further negative impact on agrarian small farms from the state and municipal control supervisory authorities is noted and it is shown what offenses are committed by agricultural producers as subjects of business. The mechanism of interaction of public management authorities and the branch unions of producers and consumers needs to be improved in the following direction: it is necessary to begin with audit (and not only financial) of the existing unions and associations. Besides, the state has to initiate the creation of the unions of those producers or consumers who especially need public control or support. Steady and economically effective functioning of small farms, agricultural consumer cooperatives and other subjects of agrarian business will objectively claim, on the one hand, depressions of administrative influence of public authorities and local government and, especially, control supervisory authorities on small business, and on the other hand, on the contrary intensifying the attention to prevention of economic offenses and crimes in the sphere of agrarian business.
Keywords: small farms in agrarian and industrial complex; state and municipal control and supervision; economic offenses and crimes in the sphere of agrarian business.
