Abstract: We summarize the main forms of tobacco production organization in Sichuan Province, including traditional peasant households, large scale growers, family farms, tobacco farmers' associations, and specialized tobacco cooperatives. In the process of innovation of production organization mode, some problems are pointed out, such as lack of management talents and long-term incentive mechanism, lack of standardization in operation, bottleneck in land and financing, low economic benefits of cooperatives, and difficulty in protecting farmers' interests and rights. We put forth the following recommendations for advancing the innovation of tobacco production organization mode in Sichuan Province: forming the long-term mechanism for supporting the innovation of production organization forms; standardizing the operation of the specialized cooperative organizations; strengthening personnel training, and establishing tobacco farmers' principal position; expanding cooperative economic production organizations, and achieving moderate concentration of land size; strengthening information services, to boost the development of cooperative production organizations.
