Chairman of the Provincial Cooperative Union Pham Minh Hien speaks at the Conference.
At the conference, the delegates discussed the current situation, advantages and difficulties in implementing the Project. Some contents in the process of purchasing machinery and equipment require financial resources and site preparation by cooperatives, making the implementation progress slower than planned. Some start-up cooperative models are still confused in the process of implementing support contents. The control activities of cooperatives still have many limitations; the role of control has not been clearly shown in the activities of the unit... However, with the obvious results, the delegates agreed to propose that the province continue to implement the Project and promptly remove difficulties and obstacles to better promote support policies.
Speaking at the conference, Vice Chairman Phan The Tuan praised the efforts of the Provincial Cooperative Union, departments, branches, localities and cooperatives that have actively organized and participated in the Project, proactively changed thinking, applied science and technology, improved management, production and business efficiency, created income and jobs for cooperative members and people, contributing to promoting the socio- economic development of the province.
To continue meeting the development requirements of the collective economic sector in the context of integration, he suggested that the Provincial Cooperative Union should continue to support cooperatives in applying technology and digital transformation in management, production and business activities. Do a good job of advising, proposing support programs and projects, removing difficulties, promoting effective development of cooperatives. Strengthen training and coaching on cooperative management, accounting, auditing; replicate typical cooperative models; promote trade promotion of agricultural products and standardize production processes towards sustainability.
Delegates attend the conference.
Departments, branches and local authorities continue to advise on the effective implementation of the Law on Cooperatives. Proactively allocate resources from the budget and integrate other programs to continue supporting cooperatives, prioritizing support and building new cooperative models. Strengthen inspection and evaluation work, promptly support cooperatives in removing difficulties in the process of implementing new tasks; promptly detect and handle cooperatives that do not comply with legal regulations and engage in unfair competition.
For cooperatives, it is necessary to proactively innovate management thinking, increase the application of 4.0 technology and digital transformation in all activities; financial transparency, fully implement accounting regimes, reporting regimes and financial obligations to the state as prescribed. Actively seek markets, improve branding capacity, develop products according to high quality standards, aiming to export to global markets.
