There is a land loan-deposit cooperative in Peng Dun village of Shi Pai County, Zhong Xiang city, Wu Bei province. In this cooperative, farmers can loan or deposit their land like the cash. Mr. Liu Xianhua, Director of Economic Cooperation Management Department, says that at present, this cooperative is operating one case of land loan-deposit. His villager Chen Zhicai deposited 9 mu farming land into the cooperative and soon, his neighbor Wang Shuqing applied for land loan from cooperative on October 15th. Cooperative sent one specially assigned person to meet with them and did investigation on the ground. After that, this case has been published on the village notice board. The two parties signed the official land loan contract at last.        

As Liu introduced, most of the labor of Peng Dun always taking part-time job outside and they usually leave their land to other villagers through parol agreement or do subcontract. Because they have no contract to guarantee their rights and responsibilities, disputes break out frequently. In this August, land loan-deposit cooperative starts in Peng Dun. In the beginning, cooperative has 16 representatives of members through voting by one out of twenty families. Then, these 16 representatives work together with village officials to lay down the relative management regulations. At the mean while, villagers vote out five people to be the members of board meeting and seven people to be the supervisors; cooperative registers at industrial and commercial bureau and gains the legal personality. Once villager wants to loan land from cooperative they need to apply by letter and specially assigned person will investigate on the ground. Finally, cooperative will issue the land deposit or loan certificate as well as set up back up data at land circulation center.
