The Provincial Women's Union provided support for breeding animals to the integrated livestock cooperative managed by women in Cam Thach commune.
The women-owned agricultural crop growing cooperative in Thieu Hoa commune was established in 2023, with 20 members. The cooperative was supported by the Provincial Women's Union with peanut seeds, fertilizers and technical process transfer to grow 5 hectares of spring-summer peanuts. After 4 months, the harvest was completed, with a yield of about 60 quintals of fresh tubers/ha, 10 quintals/ha higher than mass production. In addition to growing peanuts, the cooperative grows other seasonal crops such as corn and soybeans during the year. Thanks to commodity production, consumption is quite favorable, agricultural inputs are purchased in large quantities, and households have reduced costs more. Ms. Nguyen Thi Hang, a cooperative member, said: "With the attention of women at higher levels to support the supply of seeds and fertilizers, and the commune's support in creating favorable conditions for land, women learn techniques, work in a concentrated manner, so the efficiency is more sustainable."
The women-owned agricultural cooperative in Thieu Hoa commune is one of more than 300 collective economic models established by the Provincial Women's Union at all levels, aiming to gather and attract members to help each other produce goods and consume them sustainably.

With this approach, many KTTT models have increased their members from 20 to 50, 70 people, and expanded their production scale and area. KTTT helps women organize production more professionally, while increasing solidarity and mutual support, overcoming fragmented and small-scale production methods, increasing production efficiency and high competitiveness.
