(Baonghean.vn) -On July 4, 2012, in Vinh City, the Provincial Cooperative Union held a conference to review the first 6 months of the year on collective economic development and celebrate the International Cooperative Day (July 7, 2012). Comrade Le Xuan Dai - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee attended.
In the first 6 months of 2012, in the context of general economic difficulties, the activities of the cooperative economic sector in the province were affected in production - business and services. In the first 6 months, the whole province had 141 cooperatives established, bringing the total number of cooperatives in the province to 2,776 units; and 9 newly registered cooperatives, bringing the total number of cooperatives and cooperative unions in the whole province to 839 units. Agricultural cooperatives focus on traditional service activities including irrigation, veterinary, agricultural materials, product consumption trade... Some cooperatives have diversified their services with new services: environmental sanitation, market services. Many cooperatives in service activities effectively perform the role of "midwife" for member households such as Hung Nguyen town agricultural service cooperative, Phu Hau cooperative, Hung Hoa 2 cooperative...
Comrade Le Xuan Dai presented the Government's Emulation Flag to the Nghe An Province Cooperative Union.
For non-agricultural cooperatives, in the first 6 months of the year, although production and business activities faced many difficulties due to the impact of the weakening economy, some cooperatives still rose to new developments such as Quyet Thanh Cooperative, Song Lam Cooperative, Thang Loi Handicraft Cooperative... Member enterprises of the Cooperative Alliance also developed stably such as Hai Chau Shipbuilding Enterprise, Luu Hong Company Limited, Van Phan Fish Sauce Enterprise...
Speaking at the conference, Mr. Le Xuan Dai - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized: in the general achievements of the province, there is an important contribution of the collective economic sector. In the first 6 months of 2012, the collective economic sector of Nghe An contributed greatly to job creation, stabilizing life and ensuring social security in the area. However, besides the achieved results, the production and business activities of cooperatives still have many limitations, small scale, and the interests of members have not been properly cared for. For craft villages, export products in the field of seafood and agricultural processing are not many, the ability to compete and integrate of the collective economic sector and craft villages is still limited. In 2012, the Provincial Cooperative Union is requested to continue to do well the following tasks: approaching solutions to remove difficulties for enterprises and collective economy in the spirit of Resolution 13; and soon bringing the amended Law on Cooperatives into life. For cooperatives, cooperative groups, and craft villages, continue to innovate, actively expand production and business, and make the province's collective economy develop more sustainably.
