| Abstract: |
| Farmer cooperatives can pro-poor instinctively，and they can bring benefit to farmers and therefore
help promote poverty alleviation. On this basis，by interviewing 320 non-cooperative rural households in 11
sample counties of Qinba mountain poverty-stricken areas of Sichuan province，this paper constructed an indicator
system with the impact factors of rural households’ willingness based on the special characteristics of povertystricken
regions，and applying Logistic regression model，this paper empirically analyzed the impact factors of
rural households’ willingness to participate in cooperatives. Results indicated that，in poverty-stricken areas，
rural households had weak willingness to participate in cooperatives. Whether having non-agricultural or village
cadre experiences，the amount of family members engaging in agricultural activities and commercialization degree
of agricultural products had significantly positive effects on the operating style and development recognition of
cooperatives. Compared with non-poor households，registered poor households showed weaker willingness to
cooperative participation. Additionally，inter-regional differences existed in the impact factors of participating
willingness. At last，this paper put forword some policy implications to guide rural households in poverty-stricken
areas to participate in cooperatives，including establishing a long-term mechanism of poverty，promoting the
sustainable development of poverty-stricken areas cooperatives，etc. |
