Sustainable Management Ability of Farmers' Professional Cooperatives in China:Contemporary Connotation,Empirical Measurement,and Spatial-Temporal Evolution
As a core organizational form in the modern agricultural management system,the sustainable management ability of farmers' professional cooperatives is of great significance in maintaining the long-term soundness of agricultural production and enhancing market competitiveness.Based on the contemporary connotation of the sustainable management ability of farmers' professional cooperatives,a scientific,comprehensive,and multi-dimensional evaluation index system for their sustainable management ability was constructed.This study empirically measured the sustainable management ability levels of farmers' professional cooperatives in 27 provinces(autonomous regions and municipalities)across the country from 2017 to 2022.The study found that the sustainable management ability of farmers' professional cooperatives in 27 provinces(autonomous regions and municipalities)in China shows a significant upward trend overall,with the most notable growth in market operation ability and social service capacity.There are significant regional differences in the sustainable management ability of farmers' professional cooperatives,with the central region experiencing the largest increase,and the central and western regions performing better than the eastern and northeastern regions.Additionally,farmers' professional cooperatives in geographically adjacent provinces(autonomous regions and municipalities)exhibit certain spatial aggregation characteristics and significant spatial dependence.Affected by the COVID-19 pandemic,the sustainable management ability of farmers' professional cooperatives showed a downward trend from 2020 to 2022,while the Moran's I index from 2017 to 2022 exhibited an inverted"U"shape trend.It is recommended to adopt innovative sustainable management models for farmers' professional cooperatives,promote coordinated regional development of these cooperatives,and leverage the spatial aggregation effects of farmers' professional cooperatives to further strengthen the sustainable management ability of farmers' professional cooperatives in China.
