More than 60 cooperatives dissolved
On August 1, Mr. Le Dang Phuc - Vice Chairman of Ha Tinh Cooperative Union - said that currently, Ha Tinh province has 975 cooperatives operating in many different industries and fields such as agriculture, trade, services, environment...
Of these, 42% of cooperatives operate quite well, while the majority of the remaining cooperatives operate with difficulty.
According to Mr. Phuc, in the first 6 months of 2024, Ha Tinh province had more than 60 dissolved cooperatives, while the number of newly established cooperatives was 20.
The Vice President of the Ha Tinh Cooperative Union said that Ha Tinh province has had many policies to care for and support the development of cooperatives. However, absorbing and accessing benefits from the policies is still difficult.
“Many directors of cooperatives come from farmers, so they are not proactive. They are hesitant to communicate and resolve procedures. They are not persistent and do not follow through to resolve problems. In production and business, many people still have a short-term vision. The activities of cooperatives have not yet promoted collective strength,” Mr. Phuc acknowledged.
According to Mr. Le Dang Phuc - Vice Chairman of Ha Tinh Cooperative Union, in recent times, Ha Tinh Cooperative Union has proactively and actively promoted policies related to the development of cooperatives in the area.
At the same time, organize consulting, support in handling procedures, connect and promote products for cooperatives; contact and make recommendations to state management agencies to speed up the handling of procedures for cooperatives...
“The difficulty here is that businesses still have difficulty accessing capital. Because when they use assets such as land use rights certificates of cooperatives to borrow capital, it is also very difficult to get the bank to disburse loans. Lack of capital and unstable market make cooperatives even more difficult,” Mr. Phuc shared.
Low absorption of support policies
According to Mr. Phuc, in the face of these difficulties, he hopes that state management agencies will be dedicated and responsible in guiding and resolving related procedures, helping cooperatives to easily access and enjoy policies to overcome difficulties and develop.
Mr. Tran Viet Ha - Director of the Department of Planning and Investment of Ha Tinh province also said that the implementation of some policies to support the development of collective economy and cooperatives in Ha Tinh is still difficult, and the policy absorption is low.
In 2023, outstanding loans to cooperatives and cooperative groups in Ha Tinh were 143 billion VND, down 13.32% compared to the end of 2022. Including outstanding loans of the Bank and outstanding loans of People's Credit Funds to cooperatives by the end of 2023, it was 173.6 billion VND, accounting for 0.18% of the total outstanding loans in the whole area.
According to Mr. Ha, the solution in the coming time to promote the development of cooperatives is to take advantage of integrating support from other programs, projects and plans being implemented in the area.
Direct sectors and localities to strengthen State management of collective economy and cooperatives; effectively implement mechanisms and policies on collective economic development.
Create conditions for the collective economic sector and cooperatives to access and resolve their needs for land, construction of offices, production and business facilities, as well as preferential capital sources.
Select and build advanced and typical cooperative models to link cooperatives in the area for mutual development; organize training, coaching and fostering human resources to serve the development of collective economy and cooperatives.
“It is necessary to increase technical support and technology transfer to cooperatives, promote the application of digital technology in agricultural production management and product consumption; advise, guide and support cooperatives in applying new technology, digital transformation, improving production and business efficiency” - Mr. Tran Viet Ha shared.
