This article is devoted to the improvement of cooperative entrepreneurship in rural areas as part of the development of the Russian economy in the near future. An analysis of the modern state of cooperation in rural areas is carried out and indicators of the activities of small enterprises and individual entrepreneurs for certain types of economic activities in the Russian Federation for 2019 are given. Based on these data, the creation of the "Central Consumer Digital Cooperative" was proposed, the essence of which is to organize active entrepreneurs to work in the countryside and create new jobs. The "Central Consumer Digital Cooperative" can solve several issues at once-the creation of new ones and the return of old owners in the countryside and solving issues of food security of the country. The article proposes a structure for organizing the activities of the Central Consumer Digital Cooperative, which involves both vertical and horizontal control links. This will be a new economic mechanism for the life of rural areas. The conclusion is that the "Central Consumer Digital Cooperative" can become the basic enterprise of the state within the framework of state-cooperative partnership, where social issues, the creation of new jobs, the development of entrepreneurship, as well as the provision of food to the population will be resolved.
