Small growers perform in fruit and vegetable sector in Lithuania, they cant compete individually. The co-operation in this sector is poor, and performing cooperatives can't significantly influence the market. There is no one PO or tentative recognised group of producers in Lithuania, though this situation makes the preconditions for co-operation development to growers. This paper helps to dispute the role of PO and make the patterns, which could appear under consolidation of growers. The recommendations cover the functioning agricultural cooperatives in Lithuania which can become a fundamental impulse to create 1-2 vegetable and severatives in Lithuania which can become a fundamental impulse to create 1-2 vegetable and several fruit PO.
