Along with infrastructure development, many new models of cooperatives associating with value chains and applying VietGAP standards in production were established. Those have signed contracts to link production and consumptionofproducts with enterprises in order to create jobs and improve income for labourers, contributing to promoting the local socio-economic development.

In 2020, seven cooperatives and four cooperative groups were set up in the district, lifting the number of cooperatives and cooperative groups to 33 and 39, respectively, generating jobs for about 2,000 labourers with a monthly per capita income of about 3 million VND.
