The People’s Committee of Lac Thuy district
has disseminated the programme's implementation plan this year to all communes
and townships so that they can select prominent products.

district has the largest number of products vying for the province’s OCOP
programme. Nine local products seeking for the recognition this year include

orange varieties of Chung Huong and Lan Thu farms in Phu Thanh and Phu Nghia
communes.

Binh commune.
Deputy chiefof Lac Thuy district’s
Agriculture and Rural Development Division Hoang Dinh Chinh said that the
People’s Committees of both Hoa Binh province and Lac Thuy district have
earmarked funds for product owners. As many as 600 million VND (25,680 USD) was
sourced from the Hoa Binh Provincial People Committee, of which half will be
for training courses while the rest will be used to support product owners in
building dossiers.
This year, the
district plans to organize five training courses for product owners,
authorities and leaders of local organisations.
In addition, the
provincial Department of Science and Technology presented 20 million VND to
each product owner to help them make origin-tracing stamps, packaging and
labelling.

produce their commodities under VietGAP standards with clear origins, as the
district eyes all of its OCOP products meeting the criteria./.
