President pays working visit to Ninh Binh province

Visiting Bo Bat pottery cooperative, located in the 3,000-year old Bo Bat pottery craft village in Yen Thanh commune, Yen Mo district, President Phuc lauded the efforts of Pham Van Vang, one of the founders of the cooperative, in reviving the craft three years ago.

The President hailed the cooperative's active application of technological advances in production to improve the quality of its products.

Set up in 2018, the cooperative is currently employing 27 labourers who earn 8 million VND per month. In 2020, it posted 11.5 billion VND in revenue and 2 billion VND in profit. Its products have received a four-star OCOP certificate.

The State leader asked Yen Mo district's authorities and the Cooperative Alliance of Ninh Binh province to create favourable conditions for the facility to expand its production by offering support in capital, ground, 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.

Visiting Sinh Duoc cooperative in Gia Vien district, which operates in the model of a joint stock company, specialising on herbal cosmetics production, President Phuc expressed his impression on the new cooperative model.

Underlining that Vietnam 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.

On the occasion, the State leader asked leaders of Ninh Binh province, Gia Vien and Yen Mo districts to back the cooperatives' development, contributing to the growth of the locality.
