Cross consumption

For many years, this cross-consumption has helped members understand each other, become closer, and create a support from within the association, especially in the context of a market with many obstacles and purchasing power that is not always stable.

Following the flow of restructuring, reorganizing and improving operations in the context of provincial mergers, related branches have begun to merge into one, creating new strengths. For example, in early July, the Ham Tan District Young Entrepreneurs Association was dissolved, because the district level no longer exists, and 15 companies and enterprises have joined the Binh Thuan Business Association of Lam Dong Province (the association). In a place considered a purely agricultural area but lacking irrigation, after more than 7 years of operation, the Ham Tan Young Entrepreneurs Association has a total revenue of its members reaching over 2,000 billion VND, creating jobs for more than 1,000 workers with an average salary of over 5 million VND/person/month, paying over 20 billion VND in taxes per year. At the same time, the association participates in many social security activities, being a support for many organizations and localities in volunteer work with a support budget of over 1.3 billion VND per year.

It is worth noting that these members operate in different fields, so when joining the Binh Thuan Business Association of Lam Dong province, they have contributed to enriching and diversifying the production and business sectors. Meanwhile, other branches and clubs in the coastal areas of the province are also in the process of discussion and calculation. According to the leader of the Binh Thuan Business Association of Lam Dong province, continuing to admit members and at the same time continuing to expand the business sectors in the association is the direction that the association will focus on in the coming time. Thereby, not only demonstrating convergence but also contributing to increasing the cross-consumption rate of products of the association's members.

For many years now, when the Ministry of Industry and Trade has launched the program "Members give priority to using Services - Goods of members". Because in the association there are garment companies, dragon fruit exporters... that need daily packaging, there are also members who are packaging product manufacturing companies. There are some petroleum companies, there are Co.opmart supermarkets, so members all agree to consume petroleum, buy goods at the supermarkets of the units in the association. Production and business enterprises all need capital, so the association also has 7 bank branches to ensure appropriate and timely capital supply. And for products such as insurance, protection, members also buy for insurance companies, protection supply companies in the association...

For many years, this cross-consumption has helped members understand each other, become closer and stabilize production and business, creating a support from within, especially in the context of the market still having many obstacles and purchasing power is not always stable. Thereby, it has spread and the coordination in promoting, introducing products, connecting trade of the association is also more favorable, through trade promotion activities, member conferences, on zalo trade groups... Connecting trade promotes production, business, and promotes the development of improved member enterprises.

To date, the association has 145 members, including 1 organizational member, a women's business club with 53 members operating in many different industries. In the coastal area of the province, many similar associations, groups, and clubs have been established in recent times, based on the need to connect, stabilize, and expand production and business. This is considered a fertile land that the association said it will gather more. The purpose is to bring good things to production and business, especially to increase cross-consumption among members. Because this is a strategic direction to help maintain the consumption rhythm and expand sustainable output for businesses.
