Mr. Nguyen Ho Lam, Deputy Chief of Office of the Steering Committee for New Rural Construction, proposed to add the results of the cooperatives' activities in recent times.

It is necessary to create strong changes in both quantity and quality of agricultural cooperatives. Develop appropriate support mechanisms and policies to encourage the development of collective economy. Prioritize annual funding from the national target program on new rural construction so that each year there are at least 3 effective models of agricultural cooperatives associated with new rural construction.
