At the same time, in order to promote mutual help and mutually beneficial cooperation between farmers' professional cooperatives and farmers who join the cooperatives, the association has helped establish 16 farmers' professional cooperatives such as circulation-oriented, production and processing, social service, leading-driven, and local characteristics. For example, Baolv Vegetable Professional Cooperative, a governing unit of the association, initiated the establishment of a circulation-oriented cooperative - Lusheng Land Share Planting Professional Cooperative. 175 farmers in Sanjiangkou Village, Zhouxiang Town, became shares at a discount from their contracted land management rights, with a concentrated land size of 315 acres, and implemented the " With the operating model of "unified quality, unified standards, unified trademarks, and unified sales", it is expected that the annual vegetable sales revenue will exceed 4 million yuan, and the fixed return and secondary dividend income of members will far exceed ordinary land transfer, leasing and other income. .
