In order to improve efficiency
and the quality of the OCOP programme in 2022 while ensuring targets are
reached, the Provincial People’s Committee has assigned the Department of
Agriculture and Rural Development to offer support to cities and districts on implementation,
under guidance issued for the 2021-2025 period.
The province will carry
out regular inspections to quickly remove difficulties facing the implementation
of the OCOP programme and establish working groups to monitor, evaluate, and
approve ideas for potential products and avoid small, fragmented products lacking
safe production standards.
Departments and sectors
of the Provincial Appraisal Council will continue to integrate and strengthen
training, help localities in the management of OCOP products, and check
compliance with commitments on quality and origin traceability.
The Centre for Trade and
Tourism Promotion will strengthen trade promotion activities while promoting
OCOP products among markets at home and abroad.
Hoa Binh has set a
target of completing district-level OCOP evaluations before September 30./.
