1. Maximum security", "low costs" and "best prices" are identified as major factors for using the own cooperative for marketing. Intensity of sell transacting through that mode is high and all applying farms "always" or ""mainly" use the same cooperative for marketing outputs. Nevertheless, despite the great potential for governing of transactions (non-for-profit member-owned organization) this mode is not widely used by farms -as little more than 4% of surveyed farms are members of marketing cooperatives. In transitional conditions development and maintenance costs of cooperative organization are quite high and majority of farms prefer to use other (more effective) market and private modes for governing relations with other agents. Selling out to state reserve is important marketing channel for a good number of registered and larger grain producers. State purchase contract is "preferred mode" for large farms since it gives a number of transacting advantages -a "stable" demand, a good price, a secure payment, low negotiation and enforcement costs. However, the total amount of marketed grain through that mode is relatively small. In certain years before EU accession there are incidences to use state purchase and sells as a mean to stabilize market prices as well 53;Direct retail marketing to final consumers is also practiced by some farms, and it is chiefly important for vegetables. It takes various forms -from on-spot "street" or "along the road" sells, through trade "on farm" or "farmers markets,2000
