In 2023, the Steering Committee for Cooperative Economic Development strictly
maintained operations in accordance with working regulations. Communications
work was enhanced to raise public awareness of cooperative economic
development.
Training courses were organised to improve the quality of human resources for
cooperatives. As many as 31 cooperatives got loans totaling 16 billion VND
(over 653,000 USD) from the province’s cooperative development support fund.
Up to 70 new cooperatives were established in the year, 75% higher than the set
plan, lifting the total to 758. The average revenue and profit of a cooperative
are estimated at 1.52 billion VND and 164 million VND, respectively.
At the conference, the committee’s members focused their discussion on issues
related to production land, cooperative headquarters, criteria for establishing
new cooperatives every year, capital sources, and developing sustainable raw
material areas.
In 2024, the committee will strengthen its leadership and direction for
collective economic development and provide consultation to the provincial
People's Committee to implement the 2023 Law on Cooperatives and policies on
developing collective economy and cooperatives.
Average revenue of each cooperative and income of regular labourers in
cooperatives are expected to increase by 7% and 4%, respectively. At least 20
cooperative models are hoped to be recognised as typical models in the year.
Speaking at the conference, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee
Dinh Cong Su called on sectors and the committee’s units to strengthen
leadership and direction for cooperative economic development, thus
contributing to promoting the province’s socio-economic development.
With favourable climate and land advantages, the agriculture sector in Hoa Binh has been attracting investment from enterprises, organisations, and cooperatives, gradually asserting the position of some local specialties in the international market.
Currently, Luong Son district counts 905 business establishments operating in industry and handicraft, helping generate jobs and stable incomes for local labourers.
Hoa Binh scored the highest points in two out of the eight indicators of the Public Administrative Reform (PAR) Index ranking in 2023 that the Ministry of Home Affairs announced on April 17.
A working delegation from Hoa Binh province led by Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh is attending a programme to popularise Vietnamese products in the US and Canada on April 20-28.
