| Summary: | The study presented in this paper starts from the fact that it is important to establish agricultural producers in associative forms to open them opportunities for economic development, by attracting local, regional or regional advantages. Thus, we analyzed the groups of agricultural producers established in Călărași county, regarding their structure by categories of activities, the evolution of the economic-financial indicators and the activity carried out. There were 19 interviews with management team and members of the 11 groups of agricultural producers in Călărași, in order to obtain information on the results obtained, the positive and negative aspects encountered in the activity, the advantages and disadvantages of functioning as a group of agricultural producers, future projects. Most of the positive aspects mentioned by the representatives of the groups were related to greater power they have in the negotiations with the input suppliers and in the capitalization of the production, the reduction of the production costs; exploitation of land surfaces that allow the application of modern technologies etc. The general conclusion is that in order to be successful, there must be cohesion in the producers group. If there is no cohesion, there is no success, so as in any association, the human factor is the most important. |
