Under its plan to implement the programme, Hoa Binh will strive to standardize at least 25 percent of the existing local products, equivalent to about 50 products.

It also aims to develop between 10-15 tourism culture villages, while consolidating around 50 economic organizations, and developing at least 10 new economic organizations  for participating in the OCOP programme.

On the basis of selecting the most outstanding products for the implementation of the OCOP programme in the 2018-2020 period, the province will continue studies towards issuing a system of mechanisms and policies to promote investment for the scheme.

It will also continue supporting the development of enterprises and co-operatives, aiming to improve the quality and productivity of products joining the OCCOP programme.

joining the programme, local products will be invested to be developed into key branded ones. At the same time, trade promotion activities will be enhanced for those products, helping local enterprises seek more markets for their products.

Efforts will also be made to build a provincial-level database system of OCCOP products./.
