The contribution informs on the economic development of agricultural cooperatives in comparison with trade companies. Results of agricultural enterprises (reached after 1990) indicate specific differences not only between legal forms of enterprising but also among individual enterprises and groups of enterprises (agricultural cooperatives or trade companies). Agricultural cooperatives - as a form of enterprising - can not be criticised negatively as a whole. As to economic performance, some differences among cooperatives have been constantly persisted. The whole profit/loss of cooperatives is negatively affected approximately by 10 % of high-loss making enterprises. Moreover, prosperous consolidated cooperatives exist also on the present. They dynamically respond to moving economic conditions and they are comparable to prosperous trade companies.
