The analysis of the activities of the «German-Russian Agrarian Dialogue» –the main structure of institutional interaction is carried out. It was created on the initiative of the German side in the first half of the 90’s of the last century. Its role in supporting various interest groups in cooperation is investigated. Particular attention is paid to the activities of the German entrepreneur S. Duerr and his company «EkoNiva». This is an example of «best practies» in the use of advanced management and agricultural technologies in Russian conditions. The author predicts the further development of Russian-German institutional interaction in agriculture.
