The article reviews financial and other criteria indicators, related to the production of small agricultural farms. Our law establishes that the annual turnover for micro-entity shall not exceed the amount of 60 million rubles, or USD 755.6 thousands at the current exchange rate (which at 20.01.2016 is 79.41 rubles/USD). For the category of small businesses, the ceiling of the cash proceeds must be in the range of 60 to 400 million rubles (in dollar terms from USD 0.756 to USD 5.037 million). Respectively for the medium enterprises criteria, revenue must be from 400 million to 1 billion rubles, or USD 5.037 and USD 12.259 million). The size of the business over 1 billion rubles should be classified as Large Businesses. According to the Federal law No. 209 financial data levels must be adjusted after five years of operations. All commercial organizations with less than 15 employees/ (inclusive) are classified as Micro Enterprises, and with 16 to 100 employees – to the category Small Enterprises. /Accordingly, medium-sized enterprises are organizations with 101 to 250 employees. Today, it is noted that in World’s practice, the criterion for the classification of enterprises to the relevant category is defined not by generated financial flows and assets of the enterprise, but by simple employ. In our practice, simultaneous consideration of the number of employees, annual receipts, number of livestock, and area of agricultural land make it possible to analyze dynamics of productivity using small agricultural farms, management decisions on investment expediency of innovations, improvement of production technologies, and infrastructure of product realization

The main direction of the development of crops in the current year and the next year, according to the authors, still remains the further development of the production. The producers of rice should work to find new efficient rice varieties, to diversify the range of finished products, to realize the possibilities of import-substitution. These data show a rather dynamic development of the grain production in the Krasnodar region, indicate sufficient potential development opportunities of scientific and technological progress, new technologies and systems of machines for the production of grain. An important component of the Russian grain market in the last decade is the factor of grain export. The weakening of the ruble has made foreign trade in grain a very profitable business and in this sector there are new investors who began selling the products abroad, which caused a sharp increase in domestic prices, therefore, from 1 July 2015 new restrictive export duties on grain were introduced. The measure was introduced to increase the attractiveness of the wheat supply to the domestic market and for price controls. A significant growth of exports of wheat flour and wheat-rye (an increase in supply volume in 6 times and in monetary terms in 9.9 times) should be noted as a positive factor for the diversification and growth in the number of technological conversions of the raw materials. Grains today are exported to over 50 countries; we are in the top 5 of largest grain exporters. The analysis of imports of grain shows that the structure of food import in 2014 was 1,22%, and it was mainly seed corn. Much of this imported position was implemented in other regions of our country

Availability of cooperation in the field of processing, storing, crediting and selling channels is the key to further successful development of subjects of small agrarian farms. It is shown, that modern cooperation allows creating 1-st level agricultural consumer cooperatives at the district level.

The authors give the dynamics of financing of regional target programs of development of agricultural credit and sales cooperation in the Krasnodar region. Today, the province operates a two-level system of consumer agricultural cooperatives with the regional Guarantee Fund, which is supporting their development. The main aim of the Guarantee Fund is to ensure access of small farms to financial and material resources. For the 1-st level cooperatives, the Fund provides the possibility of further development and allows adding on 1 ruble of budget support additionally 9.1 credit ruble. Analysis of economic activity of subjects of small farming has showed that improving of the availability and timeliness of accessing loans from agricultural credit consumer cooperatives for the purpose of production of gross amounts volume and production profitability of agricultural products. Moreover, the development of the practice of multi-level cooperation as condition is to improve the functioning of small agricultural farms, their credit new loan program and product distribution are illustrated
