City Economic Management Station:
Farmers' professional cooperative economic organizations are voluntarily organized by farmers engaged in the production and operation of similar products. They implement self-management, self-service and self-development in the aspects of capital, technology, information, purchase and sale, processing, storage and transportation to improve product competitiveness and increase. A professional cooperative economic organization with the purpose of membership income. Its development is based on family contract management, does not change the existing production relations, and adapts to rural reform and development. Therefore, the establishment and development of professional cooperative organizations for farmers has improved the level of agricultural intensification and the degree of professional organization of farmers. It is an urgent need to adapt to the new situation of agriculture and rural areas after China's accession to the WTO. He has increased agricultural production, increased farmers' income, and promoted the rural economy. Development plays a positive role. In accordance with the archives requirements of the “Notice on Conducting Comprehensive Investigations of Farmers' Professional Cooperation Organizations” by the Municipal Economic Management Station, our county has seriously carried out investigations of farmers' professional cooperative organizations. The investigation report is as follows:
I. Enhance understanding, strengthen leadership, and conscientiously implement. Due to the tight time and heavy tasks of this investigation, in order to carry out the investigation work well, our center unifies the staff's understanding, carefully organized, and implemented two staff members who are specifically responsible for this work. The Changba Town Sericulture Professional Cooperative and the Mugen Township Vegetable Association were selected for in-depth and meticulous investigation. The survey method is to take the form of listening to the report and visiting the members.
II. Overview of the development of farmers' professional cooperative economic organizations Our county is a national-level mountainous poverty-stricken county. The natural environment is harsh, the basic agricultural conditions are weak, the farmers' market economy awareness is not strong, and the scientific and organizational level of agriculture is not high, leading to rural professional cooperative organizations. Starting late, the development is slow, the scale is small, the team is not strong enough, and the role is not great. At present, the county's farmers' professional cooperation organizations involve kiwi, sericulture, vegetables, ramie, live pigs, dried bean curd, soybeans, peppers and other industries. There are 17 rural professional cooperative organizations in the county. Among them: 15 professional cooperatives and 2 professional associations. It involves 11 townships, 121 villages, 741 agricultural communities, and a total of 31,722 members, accounting for 31% of the county's farmers. It has driven 65,000 households, accounting for 64% of the county's farmers. Its organization form is mainly membership type, shareholding type, association type. From the industrial division of farmers' professional cooperative economic organizations, there are 15 planting industries, 1 animal husbandry, and 1 processing industry; from the area where the members are located, there are 2 in the village and 15 in the township; from the establishment of the way, the farmers take the lead in setting up 10 of them, 3 companies led by the company, and 4 led by the agricultural technology department. According to the registration situation, there are 13 registered in the industrial and commercial administration department and 4 registered in the civil affairs department. One county agricultural product industry association, namely Wulong County Kiwifruit Production and Development Technology Association, an industry association led by the County Agricultural Bureau, responsible for the production management and product sales of the county's kiwifruit. There are 56 members, the membership fee is 5,000 yuan, and the county government allocates 50,000 yuan.
Third, the problems existing in the development of rural professional cooperative organizations in our county are due to the development of rural professional cooperative organizations in recent years. They are still in the initial stage. From the general situation, there are still small scales, little effect, and uneven development. The management system is not perfect, the policy support is not enough, and the farmers are not well aware.
1. The effect is not obvious. The development of 18 peasant professional cooperative economic organizations in our county is limited to production, mostly self-produced and sold. There is no community formed, mostly producers of primary agricultural products, and they are not engaged in processing. The products have not realized value added here. The production, processing and sales of products have not been incorporated into the unified market of society. For example, the well-developed tofu association is basically a one-person production and sales. The association has not arranged and coordinated the production and sales. The industry processing of some professional cooperative organizations has not kept up, making the sales of products in these industries difficult, farmers' income is low, and the benefits are not high, which has greatly restricted their own development.
2. The internal organization of the organization is not standardized, and the degree of organization is not high. First, the internal institutions of most professional cooperative economic organizations in the county are not standardized, township administrative leaders have more positions, and administrative interventions are larger. There is no general meeting of shareholders in terms of production plans and sales plans, but only a few The person in charge of the organization has the final say that the supervision system and democratic system of the internal organization are not perfect. Second, the degree of organization is not high, on the surface is a cooperative organization, but in fact, the farmers are mainly decentralized operations, it is difficult to form a true alliance in terms of technology, service, and interests.
3. Insufficient understanding and insufficient government support. Due to the lack of market awareness of farmers, the production and management of one household has become a custom, lack of understanding of rural professional cooperative organizations, and the support of rural professional cooperative organizations at all levels and departments is not enough, so the development is slow.
4. Opinions on the development of rural professional cooperative economic organizations in our county.
The emergence and development of rural professional cooperative organizations plays an extremely important role in promoting the sustainable, stable and healthy development of agricultural industrialization operations, which can effectively meet the needs of farmers to become rich and enhance the competitiveness of farmers in the market. It is the link between farmers and the market. It is the bridge between farmers and scientific research, teaching and agricultural technology promotion units. It is a new force in the agricultural socialized service system and has become a new type of “high-yield, high-quality and high-efficiency” agriculture. Tissue carrier. However, from the situation in our county, development is still in its initial stage. There are still many difficulties and problems. It is necessary to vigorously develop rural professional cooperative economic organizations to conform to the vigorous development of the market economy. In addition to the technical guidance and information provision of the agricultural sector, and the self-construction and self-improvement of professional cooperative economic organizations, it is urgent to strengthen guidance and support from governments at all levels and relevant departments. 1. Construct a professional cooperative economic organization with the concept of modern enterprise, and organize the company, standardize the organization, operate reasonably and legally. The concept of modern enterprise requires the separation of government and enterprise, the integration of professional cooperative economic organizations into the broad scope of the social market economy, demand-oriented, and constantly improve their institutional settings and organizational norms. Professional cooperative economic organizations must strictly supervise the system in their own operations. The important decisions of the organization must be brainstorming and focusing on democracy.
2. Encourage qualified rural professional cooperative economic organizations to set up economic entities. Among the leading industries that have been formed, the establishment of economic entities around processing and sales is an effective way to enhance the service strength of rural professional cooperative economic organizations. The establishment of small sales or processing entities can make full use of the member's decentralized capital equipment and surplus labor, increase the added value of agricultural products; reduce the difficulty of the organization's raw material supply instability and high cost; increase accumulation, improve conditions, improve service capacity and The level of service enables the service to be gradually extended to the pre-production, post-production and post-production links in a certain part of the production and operation, so as to realize all-round and serialized services.
3. Establish and improve the interest mechanism to stimulate organizational vitality. Benefit-driven is the general law of market economy. The construction of agricultural micro-economic organization is the main content of agricultural marketization. The participants of diversified organizations are all based on the economic purpose of maximizing their own interests. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with the interest distribution relationship of many participating subjects and form a mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial interest mechanism. This kind of interest mechanism should also be extended to the internal organization, for example, to link the sales volume of the products of the organization with the interests of all members, to increase the sales by sales, to increase the enthusiasm of the majority of members.
4. Emphasize "to adhere to a foundation and guarantee the principle of 'three peoples'"
In guiding the development of rural professional cooperative economic organizations, the government must always regard it as an economic cooperation organization established on the basis of voluntary and mutually beneficial peasants. Farmers voluntarily join, quit freedom, and manage democracy. According to the principle of “three peoples” of “civil, private, and people benefiting”, some management systems are formulated to meet the actual characteristics and needs of the peasants, so that professional cooperative economic organizations can become a community of interests, which has cohesiveness and vitality, and enhances their participation in the market. The ability to compete.
6. Formulate other preferential support policies First, in terms of land contracting. Encourage reasonable land transfer between farmers, scale and intensify agricultural production, encourage farmers to use land to become a member of rural professional cooperative organizations; second, human support. Under the conditions of modern market economy, any industry or organization must increase its own scientific and technological content and have the concept of modern marketing. The government encourages professionals to be involved in the construction of rural cooperative organizations. Professionals must not only have agricultural science and technology personnel, but also senior management personnel, marketing planners, and talents with advanced awareness. Establish a job compensation system and link compensation or rewards for such professionals to their performance; third, tax support. In 1994, China's Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation have made provisions for rural professional and technical associations, professional cooperation, etc.: “The income from the technical services or services provided by them... is temporarily exempt from income tax.” The rural professional cooperative economic organizations have established a number of small economic entities. The rural professional cooperative economic organization in our county is starting, and it needs the support and preferential treatment of the county finance in taxation. The fourth is financial support. Governments at all levels should make full use of national poverty alleviation funds, project funds, discount loans and other priority arrangements for farmers in rural professional cooperative organizations. All financial departments should also actively support the development of rural professional cooperative organizations and give preferential treatment and care to loans.
7. Correctly handle the relationship between rural professional cooperative economic organizations and governments at all levels.
The development of professional cooperative economic organizations is inseparable from the support and guidance of the government. This is not in contradiction with the principle of private operation. This kind of support and guidance needs to grasp a few points: 1 the government must formulate the necessary support policies and guide them correctly; 2 government departments It is imperative to replace the rural professional economic organizations into government-run organizations; 3 local government leaders should not take up positions in professional cooperative economic organizations; 4 rural professional cooperative economic organizations can independently hire professional and technical personnel to work part-time in rural professional cooperative economic organizations or Responsible; 5 fully respect the business autonomy and property ownership of rural professional cooperative economic organizations, can not engage in "flat tuning", can not increase their burden.
