Some of them only representing their members in negotiating with processors milk procurement prices, the others organizing of members produced milk gathering and conveyance network. Questionnaire research shows, that these cooperatives members, which owns transport for milk conveyance, as biggest advantage of this system view less dependence from processors either additional incomes and competitive advantage. Hut the problems they face are shortfall of investment funds to obtain transport, route planning and effective transport exploitation. Cooperatives, which haven't Own transport, are not sloped to invest to farm development and feel less processors influence. Besides, activity of landowners is restricted by milk processors which regulate the price and quantity of raw milk unilaterally. Cooperatives of milk producers could be significant member of dairy market and counterweight for processors if they accomplish member's raw milk gathering and conveyance network. Dairy farmers should form cooperatives more active, use the provision of support and invest for development of cooperatives and their own farms.
