million VND, of which 380 million VND sourced from the State budget, and 206

associating with value chains and applying VietGAP standards in production were
established. Those have signed contracts to link production and consumptionofproducts
with enterprises in order to create jobs and improve income for labourers,
contributing to promoting the local socio-economic development.

district, lifting the number of cooperatives and cooperative groups to 33 and
