Dong Thap is the first province in the Mekong delta region to set up associations. As per the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development’s report, the first association was set up in An Nhon Commune in Chau Thanh District in 2016, 19 others have so far been established in the province, each having 30- 100 members.
An association is a group of people working on same jobs such as making safe rice, fruits, growing ornamental trees to share experience or learn skills each other. Associations also connect with scientists and experts in the field who had talks with farmers on new techniques and technologies to increase output and improve product quality.

Moreover, associations contact with enterprises to buy farmers’ products and liaise with related agencies to join in the government’s countryside plan; connect people in the association as well.
