The district has regarded the development and standardisation of OCOP items as crucial to promoting production, building brands, and improving product quality.
It is home to six OCOP products, including Truc Son rice wine in Cao Son commune, indigenous pig and hill chicken in Tan Minh commune, and Da River black carp and catfish in Tien Phong commune.
The OCOP programme has contributed to economic restructuring, increasing income, and stabilising the livelihoods of rural residents, said Bui Khac Vinh, head of the district Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Development.
The official, however, pointed to obstacles to the implementation such as the hesitancy of local producers, along with issues regarding their eligibility for the programme as most of the production and business facilities have yet been registered.
Vinh said Da Bac aims to have at least six OCOP items rated at least three stars in the 2021-2025 period.
It will focus on standardising and developing products based on local resources, particularly specialties, establishing material areas, expanding production scale, participating in value and food safety chains, and encouraging businesses to upgrade product rankings.
