(HBO) - A citrus tree festival of Hoa Binh province and a fair featuring agricultural and "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) products of the northern region will kick off in Hoa Binh province on November 1. Details on the two events, which are important trade promotion activities, were released at a press conference in Hanoi on October 15.

Accordingly, the upcoming events aim to popularise products of the OCOP Programme, high-quality agro-forestry-fishery products of Vietnam, along with citrus fruit specialties of Hoa Binh and other localities. They also look to support the implementation of the OCOP Programme for 2018-2020, with a vision to 2030, in northern localities.

The events are expected to create a chance for provinces and cities to introduce their agricultural potential and strengths, and promote trade and investment in this sector.

Additionally, companies, cooperatives and farmers can also learn experience and access the latest technologies and equipment for agro-forestry-fishery production and processing at the events.

Deputy Director of the Hoa Binh provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Vuong Dac Hung said to be displayed at the festival and fair, all products have to pass strict examination and have clear origin, so consumers can put their trust in them. The events are also set to attract great attention thanks to such activities as a conference introducing OCOP products to retail outlets in the northern region, and a programme connecting farmers.
