NINH BÌNH — President Nguyễn Xuân Phúc on Tuesday visited two cooperatives that are operating effectively and creating a large number of jobs for local labourers in the northern province of Ninh Bình.

Visiting the Bồ Bát pottery cooperative, located in the 3,000-year-old Bồ Bát pottery craft village in Yên Thành Commune, Yên Mỗ District, the President praised the efforts of Phạm Văn Vang, one of the founders of the cooperative, in reviving the craft three years ago.

He hailed their active application of technology in production to improve the quality of its products.

Established in 2018, the cooperative is employing 27 labourers who earn VNĐ8 million per month. In 2020, it posted VNĐ11.5 billion in revenue and VNĐ2 billion in profit. Its products have received the four-star OCOP certificate.

The President asked Yên Mỗ District and the Cooperative Alliance of Ninh Bình to create favourable conditions for the facility to expand its production by offering support in capital, land, human resources training and trade promotion.

He suggested that the cooperative diversify its products to meet domestic demands and for export while focusing on improving the skills of its members to turn them into skilled artisans.

At the Sinh Dược cooperative in Gia Viễn District, which operates in the model of a joint stock company, specialising on herbal cosmetics production, President Phúc expressed his impression on the new cooperative model.

Underlining that Việt Nam is rich in herbs, the President highly valued the cooperative’s efforts in making full use of local materials to manufacture products with traditional features.

He also praised the cooperative’s strong performance in ensuring social welfare for labourers and applying modern technologies in production, as well as maintaining the role of Party organisation in ita operations.

Later the same day, the President had a working session with provincial authorities. — VNS
