Status Quo and Problems of Fishery Cooperatives in Jilin Province and Countermeasures

Development of special fishery cooperatives promotes the organization degree of fishermen, and provides technical services, market information for fishermen, and contributes to the organization of production and marketing. On the basis of investigating development of specialized fishery cooperatives in Jilin, it was proposed that local fishery cooperatives remained at the primary development stage, and were still limited by such problems as low organizational degree, low personnel quality, poor management level, and ossified thinking of members. In view of these problems, suggestions were given to facilitate the sustainable and healthy development of specialized fishery cooperatives, such as deepening the understanding of members, enhancing the propaganda; devoting more to fishermen training, and enhancing their awareness of cooperation; enhancing the implementation of Law on Specialized Farmer Cooperatives; providing more policy support for the development of fishery cooperatives.
