Cooperatives have a history of more than 80 years in China. The government of the People’s Republic of China has always regarded the development of cooperatives as an important aspect in promoting agricultural and rural economic development, and given them conscientious guidance, support and push. In July of 1954, the first national congress of China’s cooperatives was convened, which changed the name of United Headquarters of the Chinese Supply and Marketing Cooperatives into All-China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives (ACFSMC) and set up a unitary system of supply and marketing cooperatives nationwide.
