In 2020, the first document of the Central Committee clearly pointed out that it is necessary to focus on cultivating a new type of agricultural management subject represented by farmers’ cooperatives, and to speed up the positive role of agricultural industrialization consortia in the integration of small farmers into the agricultural industrial chain. Under the background of the rapid development of agricultural rural modernization in China, how to continue to strengthen the basic position of agriculture and promote farmers’ sustained income increase is a difficult problem to be solved, and speeding up the improvement of the quality of farmers’ cooperatives is the key to solve this problem. Based on the field investigation of 563 farmers’ cooperatives in Anzhou District of Mianyang City, through the summary and analysis of their development status, it is found that there are many problems, such as more shell cooperatives, less management strength, lack of source of funds, confusion of internal management, and fewer excellent demonstration cooperatives. It is urgent to improve the overall quality of farmers’ cooperatives from the aspects of clearing shell cooperatives, establishing joint cooperatives, credit financing, standardizing internal management and building demonstration cooperatives.
