The most interesting question of participants who are working in cooperative sector in Vietnam is: why countries with big and advanced cooperatives do not have cooperative laws and cooperative departments, whereas in countries where cooperative laws and cooperative departments are in place, the cooperatives are small? A three day- training workshop from 26 to 28 November 2019 organized by Agriterra in collaboration with Vietnam National University of Agriculture (VNUA), Vietnam Cooperative Alliance (VCA) attempted to answer the above question and has stressed the importance of transforming cooperative as model of enterprises/companies under the contemporary business context rather than a cooperative as a single legal entity for charity program. The workshop was facilitated by Tjandra Irawan, Business Advisor of Indonesia, and assisted by staff of Agriterra Vietnam.
