(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.

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.

Red grapefruit is a native crop of Tan Lac district, where the fertile soil and favourable climate create ideal conditions for its growth. With over 80% of the area being mountainous, at an altitude of 300-400 metres above sea level, red grapefruits here thrive on well-drained, fertile hillside soil. The region’s large temperature variation between day and night enhances the fruit's nutrient absorption. The local cultivation techniques also contribute to its uniqueness
