Quang Tho 2 Agricultural Cooperative (Quang Dien) is known as a successful unit in the model of producing and processing pennywort tea and matcha pennywort powder.

Chairman of the Provincial Cooperative Union, Mr. Tran Luu Quoc Doan, assessed that the construction of a new cooperative model associated with the value chain of key products in the province is gradually taking shape and has a positive trend. Cooperatives are initially linking with other units to invest in equipment and infrastructure to solve product output for people. Cooperatives have initially found output markets for their products. Thereby, avoiding the situation of traders forcing down prices, creating regular jobs for local people, contributing to increasing income, eliminating hunger and reducing poverty, and developing the rural economy.
Many cooperatives have implemented the policy of transforming the agricultural and rural economic structure towards commodity production, improving productivity, quality and efficiency of products associated with agricultural restructuring, achieving initial results. Many new and effective production models have been widely replicated, promoting the development of agricultural production in all three aspects of area, productivity and production value. In some localities, specialized industrial crop areas (sugarcane, cassava), specific fruit tree production areas (grapes, apples), and concentrated two-crop rice production areas have been initially formed.
The consolidation of land plots creates favorable conditions for cooperatives to build large fields, while creating the premise for mechanization in the fields, applying scientific advances in production, thereby reducing labor for farmers and increasing crop productivity. Cooperative staff are regularly sent to study good economic models in and outside the province; participate in training courses to improve their skills and expertise; study and research in depth on agricultural and forestry knowledge... to meet the needs of continuous development and progress of agriculture. |
