President Nguyen Xuan Phuc has suggested the Mekong Delta province of Dong Thap focus on developing its key agricultural products and step up the application of scientific-technological advances and achievements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to boost the collective economy.
In the first four months of this year, the Mekong Delta province of Tra Vinh recorded an industrial production and trade value of over 8 trillion VND (about 346 million USD), a year-on-year growth of nearly 30 percent, according to local authorities.
The Presidium of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee and the National Assembly’s Standing Committee have collected 3,480 opinions and petitions of voters and people nationwide after the fifth session of the 14th legislature.
It is necessary to continue assessing public satisfaction with outcomes of new-style rural area building seriously in order to promote responsibility and role of the Vietnam Fatherland Front in the work.
Vietnam’s cooperative economy potential has not been tapped, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has said, asking to study related success stories around the world to promote new-style cooperatives.
It is necessary to reorganise the cooperative sector through gathering individual producers in cooperatives and cooperative groups in the time ahead, said VFF leader Nguyen Thien Nhan.
The new-style cooperative model will be piloted in the Mekong Delta from 2016 to 2017, an official said at a conference in Hau Giang province on July 14.
President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee Nguyen Thien Nhan has described new-style cooperatives as the most important player in agricultural restructuring.
