Sharing the same aspiration to establish a career in their homeland, 7 members of the Youth Union of Co Do Ward, Moc Chau Town, have jointly established the Moc Chau Youth Cooperative. Although newly established, the cooperative has applied science and technology to agricultural production, creating many products that have a foothold in the domestic and export markets.
Moc Chau Youth Cooperative was established in October 2024 with the aim of supporting young people to start a business. The cooperative has a total cultivated area of 16 hectares growing fruit trees and vegetables, of which the main crop is plum trees with more than 10 hectares. All cultivated areas of the cooperative apply misting and drip irrigation technology, automatic and modern fertilization systems. Although it has just started operating, the cooperative has connected with IC Food Son La Company Limited to export over 100 tons of vegetables to the Korean market.
Mr. Phung Van Kha - Director of Moc Chau Youth Cooperative, Moc Chau, Son La: I am an agricultural engineer with the idea of "leaving the city for the forest" to develop my hometown. Moc Chau is also favored with many things in terms of weather, climate, and nature, so we apply industrial science here for agricultural production. Gradually solve the problem of good harvest but low price, small-scale production, poor technical management... So we connect and gather young people with similar ideas together.
The cooperative has 7 members, including 3 engineers, 1 agricultural master in charge of farming techniques; 1 marketing in charge of sales; the other members are all young people with experience in agricultural production in Moc Chau. Each member is assigned specific tasks, every day they work diligently in the fields, gradually improving crop productivity, creating clean agricultural products, meeting market demand, bringing in higher income.
Mr. Trinh Viet Cuong - Moc Chau Youth Cooperative, Moc Chau, Son La: I met friends who share the same passion for agriculture. We joined the cooperative and were given many favorable conditions in terms of facilities, technical infrastructure, and equipment. I can apply the knowledge I have learned in practice and also hope to develop the cooperative strongly in terms of both scale and scientific and technical progress.
Not only supporting its members, the cooperative also supports farmers in the region with farming techniques that meet standards. It supports the purchase of agricultural products for farmers, gradually solving the problem of "good harvest, low price, good price, bad harvest" of farmers.
Mr. Trinh Viet Tuong - Mia Duong Residential Group, Co Do Ward, Moc Chau, Son La: Since the youth cooperative has been purchasing output, we feel more secure in our agricultural work. Before, selling on the free market was very unstable, with a good price today, but tomorrow it might drop or even not be able to sell and lose money. Now that the cooperative has supported us, we are very confident in doing it. Now, as long as we produce products, we have income and we don't have to worry about where it comes from. Regarding technical issues, the youth also support us, and pesticides follow the process, making it easier to use and not having to learn on our own like before.
Moc Chau Youth Cooperative has gathered young people with knowledge, talent, enthusiasm and passion for agriculture. With determination and love for their homeland, we believe they will make their mark and promote local agriculture to develop in the direction of high technology, contributing to building a sustainable Moc Chau agricultural product brand in the domestic and international markets./.
