(HBO) - Implementing the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme, Lac Thuy district has recently focused on developing high-quality agricultural, forestry and fishery products with unique characteristics of each locality, thereby opening up opportunities for locals to participate in the production chain, improve the value of products, and develop the agricultural economy in an efficient and sustainable manner.
Red-flesh dragon fruit of Thanh Ha Agricultural
Service Cooperative, Ba Hang Doi township (Lac Thuy) recognised as a 3-star
OCOP product at the provincial level in 2020.
Owning a large number of OCOP products is considered an
advantage but also poses many challenges in product consumption. Therefore, to
support the development of those products, over the past years, Lac Thuy has
stepped up investment, trade and tourism promotion activities; and introduced
them to distribution systems across the country, especially e-commerce platforms.
Particularly for potential products, the district People's
Committee continues to step up dissemination of the OCOP programme, and
intensify digital transformation to improve the management and implementation
capacity of relevant officials in the district and its communes.
Thanks to the support of authorities through the development
of OCOP products, the district now has 17 recognised OCOP products at the
provincial level, of which there are four 4-star and 13 3-star products. Some
products have been exported to Taiwan (China), Japan, the Republic of Korea,
and Germany. The results have contributed to speeding up economic
restructuring, improving people's income, and serving as the basis for
sustainable rural economic development, as well as the district's success in
implementing the national target programme on building new-style rural areas
and reaching the finish line on schedule.
Ngo Dinh Tam, head of the district’s Agriculture and Rural
Development Desk, said that the district is striving to have four more 3-star
and 4-star products this year, with a total estimated cost of 290 million VND
(12,250 USD). In order to fulfil the set plan, the district encourages
businesses and cooperatives to promote the application of science and
technology to the production of goods and services, and promote processing and
deep processing to create products of high value which
are gradually standardised in line with international standards to serve
export./.
