深化农村供销合作社改革需正确认识的若干理论问题

Some Theoretical Problems on the Reform of Supply and Marketing Co-operatives

农村供销合作社是以农民为主体的部分劳动群众为了改变或改善自己的生产条件和生活条件,按照合作社原则,集资入股,在自愿的基础上通过联合而建立起来的合作经济组织。在所有制形式上,供销合作社是以农民个人所有为基础、兼有私人所有和集体所有两种因素的混合所有制,是一种合作所有制;其经营宗旨必须是真正代表农民的利益,为农民服务,即通过自身的业务活动,为农民的生产和生活提供综合化、社会化服务,以保护农民利益,增加农民收入,提高农民的经济、社会地位。研究供销合作社改革与发展问题,要坚持以世界上公认的合作社理论和原则为指导,以社会主义市场经济为前提,站在农业经济的角度进行研究。
