Commissions and discounts

(Baonghean) It is a fact that for a long time, due to competition between manufacturers and traders, the prices of agricultural materials such as rice seeds, fertilizers, etc. sold to farmers in Nghe An are still quite high. An important reason is the commission and discount percentage for agricultural cooperatives, for the People's Committees of communes, including the Women's Union, Farmers' Association, etc. participating in the network of supplying products from manufacturers to farmers.

This rate varies between manufacturers and traders and is increasing, so the price of fertilizers and rice seeds has increased when they go down to farmers. In order to sell their products, many low-quality fertilizer producers "approach" cooperatives, offering high discount rates to compete with quality products.

Many cooperatives also consider commission and discount as the number 1 criteria when selecting products for farmers. As a result, many farmers have to use low-quality rice, corn and fertilizers, seriously affecting crop productivity and people's lives.
