(HBO) - In 2021, Lac Thuy district was recognised as an exemplary unit in the development of collective economy and cooperatives in Hoa Binh province. It is the outcome of the attention and drastic action taken to support the development of the collective economy by the local Party committees and authorities, and the dynamism and creativity in management and administration over production and business development of cooperative groups and cooperatives.


  In 2021, the People's Committee of Lac Thuy district assists with the standardisation of white oyster mushroom products of An Sinh production and general service cooperative in An Binh commune to meet the provincial 3-star OCOP standard.

According to statistics of the district’s Steering Committee for Collective Economic Development, the locality has 37 cooperative groups and 47 cooperatives operating under the 2012 Law on Cooperatives. The total number of members of cooperative groups is 1,699. Last year, the average revenue of a cooperative group reached 120 million VND. Meanwhile, the total number of members of cooperatives is 969, and the total revenue of the cooperatives was 30.6 billion VND. Most cooperatives have built product brands and engaged in production linkage, typically Lac Thuy chicken farming cooperative, Tuan Chuyen livestock service cooperative, Hai Dang hi-tech organic agricultural cooperative and An Sinh production and general service cooperative.

Nguyen Thi Thu Hang, Vice Chairwoman of the district People's Committee, said that in 2021, in order to create favourable conditions for cooperative groups and cooperatives to develop production and business, the district identified the difficulties and obstacles facing cooperatives affected by the COVID-19 pandemic to report to provincial departments and sectors, and directed its divisions, desks and units to study policies to support cooperatives.

Attention was paid to supporting cooperatives to put their products on e-commerce platforms to expand consumption channels, urging cooperatives to participate in training to improve their management capacity, and participate in production value chains. During the year, the district supported two cooperatives with products participating in the OCOP programme, namely Hai Dang organic agricultural cooperative with fresh whole chicken product, and An Sinh production and general service cooperative with white oyster mushroom.

In the coming time, in order to improve the operational efficiency of the collective economy and cooperatives, Lac Thuy will continue implementing relevant policies and mechanisms; promoting dissemination and training to raise the capacity of human resources; building a management apparatus of the collective economy and cooperatives; carrying out plans, programmes, preferential policies to support the development of the collective economy and cooperatives; and building, consolidating and replicating new and typical collective economic models./.
