The most prominent was the formation of production groups by industries, crafts, and cooperative groups.

Fund management at the union was performed in accordance with the regulations, monitored to ensure giving loans to the right people. All members who borrowed loans have used the money for right purposes, gained good results, paid interests and principals on time, no overdue debts. The union also signed an entrusted contract with Social Policy Bank of Thuan An City and effectively implemented the contract.

Vuong De's household at Hung Phuoc quarter, with 6,000 square meters of orchards and flower farms, gains a total annual income of 250 million VND.
