Taking us on a tour of the production workshop, Mr. Nguyen Van Dung, Director of the Cooperative, shared: The Cooperative was established in 2019, with 7 members, operating mainly in the field of sewing and processing supermarket bags. Accordingly, the Cooperative proactively cooperates with businesses to supply input materials and businesses purchase all output products.
Specifically, the cooperative cooperates with a number of businesses outside the province to get raw materials, then bring them back to process into products and transfer them back to businesses for consumption.
Ms. Hoang Thi Hoa, Tan Tien village, Long Dong commune said: Before, I used to work for a company in Bac Giang province, but the job was very hard and far from home. In 2023, I started working at the cooperative, where I was enthusiastically guided and also supported with expenses during my apprenticeship; my average income was 6 million VND/month.
Similar to Ms. Hoa, recently, many other households in Bac Son district have had more income and improved their lives since working at Nguyen An Son Bac Son Cooperative. With the desire to expand production and create more jobs for rural workers not only in Bac Son district, in 2021, the Cooperative continued to invest in a factory in Binh Gia district and create more jobs for 50 workers. Up to now, the Cooperative has created stable jobs for over 100 workers in the two districts with an income of 5 to 6 million VND/person/month.
Mr. Nguyen Van Dung, director of the cooperative, added: To manage the large number of workers as present, we have been flexible in dividing human resources. Specifically, during the crop season, people can take time off from the cooperative to return to production, harvest, and then continue working at the cooperative. To create favorable conditions for people and ensure enough supply for partners, the cooperative has opened two more processing locations in Tan Lap and Dong Y communes (Bac Son district). If people are busy working in one area, people from other areas can replace them and vice versa. Thus, people can still ensure their family's agricultural production while still having stable jobs during the off-season, especially the elderly.
In addition, the Cooperative always focuses on propaganda and ensuring occupational safety and hygiene for workers; instructing on checking machinery before work, identifying hazards, assessing risks, and taking preventive measures... During the working process, there is always a team leader who directly observes, supervises safety, and controls each operation and movement of the workers. Thanks to that, since its inception, the Cooperative has not had any occupational accidents.
Mr. Duong Huu Phong, Head of the Finance and Planning Department of Bac Son district commented: In recent times, with its dynamism, sensitivity, and flexibility in production and business, Nguyen An Son Bac Son Cooperative has developed quite rapidly, creating jobs for many rural workers. In the coming time, the department will continue to pay attention to propaganda, guiding the procedures to help the cooperative access the State's support policies... to expand the scale of production.
With those efforts, in April 2024, the Cooperative was honored to receive a certificate of merit from the Provincial People's Committee for its outstanding achievements in production and consumption of products of cooperatives in Lang Son province.
Currently, on average, the cooperative processes 300,000 - 350,000 bags per month, bringing in revenue of over 600 million VND/month. Because it mainly produces according to orders from partners, the cooperative is not worried about product output. In the coming time, the cooperative continues to plan to expand the model to many other locations in the province. It is expected that in 2025, the cooperative will continue to create jobs for about 200 local workers.
