Small growers dominate in fruit and vegetable sector in Lithuania, they cannot withstand the pressure of market. Co-operation is poor in this sector so the performance of cooperatives cannot significantly influence the market. There is no producer organisation (PO) or potentially recognised group of producers in Lithuania, though this situation makes the preconditions for the development of grower's co-operation. The paper focuses on the role of PO and patterns of possible fruit and vegetable grower's cooperation models. Recommendations are based on functioning of the agricultural; cooperatives in Lithuania, which can become a fundamental impulse to create 1-2 vegetables and one or several fruits PO.
