(HBO) – The Cooperative Alliance of Hoa Binh province held a conference on June 29 to discuss trade promotion and the development of herbal material growing zones for herbal product manufacturing. The event was attended by six enterprises in and outside the province and more than 20 cooperatives producing herbal materials.



An overview of the conference.

The participating cooperatives presented the local climate and soil advantages for cultivating herbal plants but also pointed out certain difficulties in material processing, preservation, and sale.

Facing that fact, they expressed their hope that the provincial Cooperative Alliance will continue paying attention to promoting trade and developing herbal material cultivation zones.

Representatives of the enterprises also presented their plans to form herbal material growing zones and demand for herbal materials. They suggested that local cooperatives should form large-scale herbal plant farming areas, ensure food safety, use skilled workers, apply technologies to process materials right in their localities, and work to expand markets.

The conference aimed to provide a chance for enterprises and cooperatives to seek partnerships in herbal plant cultivation, processing, and sale.

On this occasion, the provincial Cooperative Alliance also collected opinions about the establishment of a club of herbal material producing cooperatives in Hoa Binh. The club will serve as a platform for sharing knowledge, improving governance skills, exchanging experience in material production and product development, inspiring creativity, and expanding the markets for herbal products.
