Abstract: Taking three typical farmers’ specialized cooperatives in Jingyuan County of Gansu Province as example, this paper compared with the operating mode of three cooperatives and their position in the agricultural industry chain, and analyzed operating characteristics, problems, and similarities of three cooperatives and their functions in the agricultural industry chain. The study indicated that the farmers’ specialized cooperatives can accurately find their position in the agricultural industry chain. This is helpful for raising their comprehensive competitiveness and it is very important to manage the survival and development of farmers’ specialized cooperatives, which is of utmost importance to their effective operation. According to this study, the government should strengthen its support, speed up the cultivation of new-type professional farmers, while farmers’ specialized cooperatives should grasp the operating characteristics, locate themselves and integrate multi-resources. These are effective measures for promoting healthy operation of farmers’ specialized cooperatives.
