Abstract

The article analyzes the role of the state in the development of Vietnamese agricultural cooperatives. The results show that state intervention does not ensure the independence, autonomy, private ownership, and operation according to market mechanisms of agricultural cooperatives; causes a conflict between the state's direction and management perspective and the operation of the market mechanism; creates a mentality of dependence, waiting and reliance of the Board of Directors of agricultural cooperatives on the state; creates inequality between economic sectors, and creates a burden on the state budget.
