On February 22, in the Huinong (Points) Supermarket in Hebian Town, Bishan District, the shelves were full of dazzling goods. Many villagers took out their point cards at the checkout counter and exchanged the points they had earned from participating in local grassroots governance for goods.
Huinong Supermarket is jointly established by the two village collective economic organizations in Hebian Town, "hand in hand" supply and marketing cooperatives, and is the local villagers' own supermarket. The supermarket combines the benefits of farmers with the points system, and villagers can exchange the points obtained from participating in grassroots governance for goods, which not only strengthens the collective economy, but also encourages the masses to actively participate in rural governance.
The location of the supermarket used to be an idle house in Wenchang Community, located on the "Inner Ring Road" of Hebian Town, not in the core area, and the house has been idle for many years.
In August last year, Wenchang Community and the neighboring Yanjinghe Village jointly established the Bishan District Hebian Huinong Supply and Marketing Cooperative, a state-owned enterprise under the Bishan District Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Bishan District Huihe Supply and Marketing Cooperative, referred to as "Hebian Huinong Company"), and made use of this idle asset to open Huinong Supermarket.
The supermarket covers an area of 1,200 square meters and operates more than 8,000 kinds of commodities, making it the largest and most complete comprehensive service supermarket in Hebian Town.
Since its opening on August 27 last year, the supermarket has quickly brought up popularity, such as weaving every day, and has also provided more than 10 employment positions for local villagers, and has achieved sales revenue of more than 280 yuan in just half a year, and it is expected that Wenchang community and Yanjinghe Village can achieve proportional dividends by the end of this year.
The supermarket is also an important carrier for Hebian Town to implement the point system of "party building leading grassroots governance".
According to the relevant person in charge of Hebian Town, in recent years, Hebian Town has implemented the point system of "Party Building Leading Grassroots Governance", implementing integral management on a household basis, and including loving the party and the country, abiding by discipline and law, being moral and civilized, and participating in public welfare activities into the scope of points, so as to stimulate the enthusiasm of the masses to actively participate in rural governance. However, in the past, villagers could only use their points to exchange points for a limited variety of daily necessities such as toothpaste, paper, soap, etc., at the "points supermarket" specially opened in their village (community), and the exchange time was also limited. Nowadays, more than 8,000 kinds of products in Huinong supermarket can be exchanged for equal amounts according to the number of points, which is very convenient.
