When the cooperative was established, the first job the cooperative focused on was to actively plant medicinal herbs, therefore the cooperative provided each member with more than 1,000 medicinal seedlings of all kinds to plant; they invested more than 100 million dongs in balm cooking pots. The production is carried out according to the process, ensuring the standards from the drug washing area, the production area, the product packaging and product display area.

Before the cooperative was established, the households did their own business, mainly retailing. After the cooperative was established, they were supported with the traceability stamps of the product, the production process and the packaging were supported, and promoting the products was introduced. Up to now, the cooperative has had 2 products with the registered trademarks, including Thao Moc Khoi balm, which specializes in treating stomach and large intestine, and Moc An Xoa balm, which supports high liver enzymes, hepatitis, and liver detoxification. The valuable medicine of the cooperative is widely known in the provinces and cities throughout the country, the market is extended to the pharmaceutical companies in Hanoi.
