Sổ tay hướng dẫn Xây dựng mô hình hợp tác xã nông nghiệp điển hình

The collective economy, particularly agricultural cooperatives (HTX), has undergone significant transformation in Vietnam, becoming a cornerstone for agricultural restructuring and rural development. HTX play a vital role in strengthening value chains, fostering sustainable rural economies, and providing essential services to rural communities. They are central to shifting towards a modern "agricultural economy" that embraces innovation, digital transformation, and sustainable practices. This shift is crucial for national agricultural development and improving farmers' livelihoods. This handbook, compiled by the Department of Cooperatives and Rural Development, addresses the critical need to guide local authorities in establishing effective strategies for developing and replicating exemplary agricultural cooperative models, thereby enhancing the quality and efficiency of HTX operations and contributing to national targets for rural economic advancement.

This handbook serves as a comprehensive guide for developing and replicating exemplary agricultural cooperatives (HTX nông nghiệp điển hình) in Vietnam, a critical component for agricultural restructuring and rural development. It systematically outlines the theoretical foundations, practical criteria, and strategic implementation steps essential for fostering robust and sustainable cooperative models. The guide is structured into six main parts. Initially, it provides general information, setting the context of HTX evolution and their pivotal role in Vietnam's collective economy, alongside detailing the handbook’s objectives and target audience. This foundation is followed by clear criteria for identifying exemplary agricultural cooperatives, covering aspects such as operational integrity, diverse service provision, and strong business performance, especially their integration into key value chains, including OCOP products and sustainable practices. Crucially, the document delineates the roles and coordination mechanisms among all stakeholders, from state management agencies at various levels to the HTX themselves and external consulting and support entities. A significant portion is dedicated to outlining a broad spectrum of government support policies. These include provisions for human resource training, market promotion, application of science and technology, infrastructure investment, fostering production linkages, and financial incentives like credit, land use, tax benefits, and agricultural insurance. The handbook also provides a structured, step-by-step methodology for localities to effectively plan, implement, monitor, and ultimately evaluate and replicate successful exemplary HTX models. This resource holds immense practical value, offering actionable guidance to enhance the quality, efficiency, and sustainability of agricultural cooperatives. By facilitating the transition from traditional production to a modern 'agricultural economy' that integrates innovation, digital transformation, and green practices, the handbook directly contributes to rural economic growth, job creation, new rural construction, and improved farmer livelihoods, aligning with national strategic development objectives.
