The growth of production efficiency in the agricultural sector of the economy is based on the use of various factors – organisational, economic, labour, material, motivational, etc. Among them, organisational and economic ones are a priority, which can also include integration relations. The mechanism of action of organisational and economic foundations of integration relations in the context of a systematic approach is rather underinvestigated, which determined the topic of research. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the theoretical, methodological, and practical foundations of building an organisational and economic mechanism of integrated structures from the standpoint of a systematic approach. The methodological basis of the study was the provisions of institutional economic theory and system analysis. Monographic, normative, graphic, abstract and logical methods and approaches to generalising results are used. The economic essence of the organisational and economic mechanism of integrated structures in the agricultural sector of the economy is determined. The essence of integrated structures and integrative formations from the standpoint of consistency is substantiated. The concepts of “integrated structure” and “cooperative” have been clarified. The interdependence of dysfunctions is determined – an integrated structure and an agricultural cooperative. The study results can be taken into account in the development of programmes: determining priorities for the development of integration and cooperative structures, developing laws and regulations for the establishment and development of cooperation and integration in the agricultural sector of the economy
