At the end of May, the Provincial Women's Union held a preliminary review of Project 938 "Propaganda, education , mobilization, and support for women to participate in solving some social issues related to women" phase 2 and a summary of Project 939 "Supporting women to start a business" phase 2017 - 2025.

These are products that have gained a foothold in the market thanks to women's start-up competitions in recent years and also agricultural products produced and consumed by women to serve their daily meals.
