Abstract: Positive functions of farmers’ specialized cooperative economic organizations were emphasized, i.e. increasing farmers’ incomes, promoting the industrialization of agriculture, optimizing agricultural structure, enhancing the standardization of agricultural production and improving service means provided by government for agriculture. On the basis of investigating the current situation of farmers’ specialized cooperative economic organizations in tropical areas, the problems in the development process of these organizations were analyzed, which mainly included following aspects: ① Narrow coverage; ② Irregular and imperfect operation mechanism; ③ Insufficient effective policy support. Therefore, in view of these existing problems, the thoughts and countermeasures were put forward to promote the future development of farmers’ specialized cooperative economic organizations in tropical areas. Firstly, supportive policies should be enhanced by government; secondly, guidance work should be done positively; thirdly, demonstration and promotion role should be played fully; finally, farmers’ education and training in tropical areas should be paid more attention, which is of great significance in promoting the modernization of agriculture in tropical areas.
