【Objective】This paper explored the temporal and spatial expansion characteristics and industrial operation mode of farmers’ cooperatives in different topographical areas of Chongqing, mastered the development law of farmers’ cooperatives in Chongqing and analyzed the differences in the selection of different industrial modes, in order to provide data support for promoting the classified cultivation of cooperatives and the formulation of differentiated support policies.【Method】This paper used 2528 farmers’ cooperatives in Chongqing as a sample, comprehensively used terrain distribution index, standard deviation ellipse and other methods to analyze the temporal and spatial patterns and expansion characteristics of cooperatives of different industrial types in four types of terrain. And combined with the questionnaire survey, combed and refined the cooperative operation mode. 【Result】（i） The development of farmers’ cooperatives in Chongqing showed four growth stages in general, with slow growth from 2002 to 2006, rapid growth from 2007 to 2010, the growth rate slowed down from 2011 to 2014, and the growth rate from 2015 to 2018 has dropped significantly. From the perspective of topographical area, the growth rate of Area Ⅳ is the fastest, followed by Area Ⅱ and Area Ⅰ, and Area Ⅲ had the slowest growth rate.（ii） The growth advantages of cooperatives in different industries vary significantly. The growth advantage zone of livestock and poultry industry was Area Ⅳ. The growth advantage zone of the fruit and vegetable, grain and oil, and comprehensive industries were Area Ⅰ and Area Ⅱ. The growth advantage zone of the flower, tree, tea, and peppercorn industries are Area Ⅱ, the tobacco and Chinese medicinal materials industries are Area Ⅲ and Area Ⅳ.（iii） Except for the grain and oil industry cooperatives in the southeast-northwest direction from 2002 to 2006, the rest of the industrial cooperatives had a southwest-northeast distribution at various stages.（iv） There were six main modes of cooperative industrial operation, the livestock, poultry, fruit and vegetable, flower and tree and grain and oil industries use the ‘company + farmers’ cooperative + base + farmer’ model. The ‘company + farmers’ cooperative + farmer’ model was used by fruits and vegetables, flower and tree, grain and oil industries. The industries that use the ‘farmers’ cooperative + base + farmer’ model include fruit and vegetable, flower and tree industries, and the industries that use the ‘Internet+ farmers’ cooperative + farmer’model include livestock, poultry and other industries. The industries of the ‘farmers’ cooperative + farmer household’ model include fruit and vegetable, grain and oil industries, and livestock industry using the model of ‘company + farmers’ cooperative + base + family farm’. 【Conclusion】The number of farmers’ cooperatives in Chongqing is growing, and the advantageous area of different industries has a difference, and it has evolved in the northeast direction, and the operation mode of each industry is diverse. According to the spatio-temporal expansion characteristics of the cooperative and the local conditions, we should accurately find the mode of industrial operation and promote the steady development of cooperatives.
