Abstract:
With the development of collective forest tenure reform, allocating the forest land to
individual household makes forest operation fragmented, which prevents forestry scale management to
some extent. In 2003, the No. 1 document of Central Committee proposed substantial support to develop
manifold forms of new farmers'cooperative organizations. Based on a questionnaire survey on 483 farmers
and 140 managers in Sanming City, Fujian Province, through descriptive statistical analysis and by
building a binary Logistic regression model, this paper studies the farmers'demand for forestry
cooperation organizations, and the impacts of the demand on the development of forestry cooperation
organizations. It then puts forward some suggestions on how to promote the healthy development of forestry
cooperative organizations and develop large-scale management.
