Abstract: Agricultural cooperation is a paradoxical and recurrent issue in Romania. Although we have a centuries-old experience in the existence, organization and functioning of various forms of mutual aid and a number of people of Romanian culture who have propagated cooperative ideas over time, cooperatives, agricultural cooperatives in particular, have generally shown a weak evolution as compared to expectations. In recent years, efforts to stimulate the emergence and development of cooperatives have been intensified by the state and various international donors and there are signs that interesting developments were noticed regarding the increase in the number of cooperatives registered at the National Trade Register Office (NTRO). But how functional they are or what are the problems faced by the newly established entities, we can only find out through a detailed research within the Nord-Est Development Region of Romania.
