Evaluate the effectiveness of coordination

In 2018 alone, the Association at all levels built 467 effective economic models, and evaluated 138,160 good production and business farming households at all levels.
“Farmers' Associations at all levels and sectors coordinated to mobilize people to contribute 330,616 billion VND and donate 132,113 m2land, 256,665 working days and materials, actively contributing to the construction of new rural areas," said comrade Nguyen Quang Tung.

Tuesday,The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee noted that the Association needs to pay attention to connecting with businesses and entrepreneurs.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, if you have potential, you have to go with many people. Therefore, there must be connections and cooperation with businesses. The Farmers' Association and authorities at all levels must build awareness and attitudes in connection, build trust and responsibility before the community” - the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee analyzed, at the same time suggesting that the Provincial Farmers' Association should be given favorable conditions to access large seminars and conferences to have the opportunity to approach businesses and coordinate with businesses.
Wednesday,Comrade Thai Thanh Quy suggested that departments and branches choose specific work contents and tasks, avoid stating general tasks in coordinating work with the Farmers' Association. For its part, the Farmers' Association needs to give feedback on the working style and implementation of mechanisms and policies in localities, and whether they have achieved high efficiency or not.
"Farmers' Associations at all levels must be the force that criticizes policies related to agriculture, farmers, and rural areas, and examines whether the Provincial People's Committee's management is effective or not, so that the province can make timely adjustments and operate more closely and practically," he emphasized.
