The conference, convened in Kyiv on November 16, 1922, played the decisive role of agricultural cooperation in the development of peasant beet sowing and the relationship between agricultural cooperation and the sugar industry. Cooperative support of the sugar beet industry was not a matter of simple mediation, it was a complex of the impact of agricultural cooperation as a socio-economic organization on the farm, providing assistance (credit, land management, providing the necessary tools, materials, etc.). Therefore, it was necessary to agree on all these issues and give the opportunity for agricultural cooperation to work in such conditions that guarantee a progressive increase in the influence of agricultural cooperation on agriculture, because only the introduction of sugar beet crops into the system of peasant farming will forever solve the issue of providing the sugar industry with raw materials
