Service cooperatives better meet the needs of people for production and daily life supplies; credit funds contribute fundamentally to the capital needs for production and business; industrial and handicraft cooperatives continue to maintain traditional trades and develop some new trades.
State management of the collective economic sector has been strengthened, and some difficulties and obstacles facing the collective economy have been addressed by various levels of government. Several mechanisms and policies from the central and local governments continue to be implemented effectively, creating favorable conditions for the development of collective economic models and cooperatives, contributing positively to the construction of new rural areas.
