Cooperatives encouraged to take part in afforestation
In order to boost afforestation with the participation of cooperatives, provinces and cities need to provide consultancy and assistance for cooperatives, cooperative groups and households to develop and manage forests effectively and sustainably in 2018, said the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance (VCA). According to the VCA, 40 percent of the cooperatives, cooperative groups and households involved in the forestry sector are expected to have stable consumption markets by 2020.
