(HBO) – Lac Son district of Hoa Binh province has worked hard to popularize the Party and State policies on developing collective economy with cooperatives as a core among local people in recent years. It has also consolidated a steering committee for collective economy development and assigned tasks to its members while creating favourable conditions for the collective economy to develop. However, challenges still remain to the implementation of support policies for cooperative development.




Tung Quan Cooperative for forest farming and processing in Vu Lam commune, Lac Son creates stable jobs and incomes for its members

The district has 28 cooperative groups with 168 members and workers, mostly in the fields of agriculture, irrigation, and pesticide spraying services. It is also home to eight cooperatives, including four agricultural and four non-agricultural ones.

The cooperatives have provided different services to meet the needs of their members and local residents, for example, irrigation services, seed supply and farming equipment and distribution. They have not only created jobs and improved incomes for members but also supported local socio-economic development.

It was estimated that six communes and towns have cooperatives following the 2012 Law on Cooperatives while the remaining 22 have none. In addition, no commune engages in a supply chain model. 

In the remaining months of this year, the district will focus on building cooperatives that work in compliance with the 2012 Law on Cooperatives. It also strives to have six new cooperatives operating under the law and support the establishment of two supply chain models.

The district has been developing two model cooperatives including Tung Quang Cooperative in So hamlet, Vu Lam commune and a chicken farming cooperative in Huong Nhuong commune. Two chicken farming cooperatives in Huong Nhuong and Chi Thien communes are selected to join the local supply chain.

The district established and granted business registration certificates to four new cooperatives in the first half of 2017.

To boost the cooperative economy, Lac Son will continue communication campaigns to make locals better aware of the role of the cooperative economy while investing more in science and technology and encouraging the establishment of a cooperative alliance in order to raise more capital and recruit more members.

It will also encourage mergers of cooperatives in the same fields or areas to increase their financial strength and expand business scale.

The district hopes for more support from the provincial People’s Committee and departments in training to boost cooperative development. There should be exclusive policies designed to assist cooperatives in each sector, especially agriculture.
