After surveying some production development models in Nam Anh and Nam Tan communes, the delegation directly listened to the leaders of Nam Dan district report on the effectiveness of cooperative activities in the field of agricultural production.

Currently, Nam Dan has 51 cooperatives and credit funds along with 5 cooperative groups, creating regular jobs for more than 1,000 members. To encourage the development of the collective economy, Nam Dan has issued a support policy of 5-10 million VND when establishing new cooperatives and cooperative groups with a commitment to purchase products.

At the meeting, the leaders of Nam Dan district recommended that the Cooperative Union should direct its member units to link and connect with cooperatives producing vegetables and fruits that have been granted VietGAP standards to consume products for people; support seeds and techniques to convert the crop structure of some areas along both sides of the road to Uncle Ho's hometown to grow lotus to form cooperatives and cooperative groups to process lotus products; coordinate with the district to build a supermarket to consume safe products in Nam Dan...
