Lac Thuy chicken breeding cooperative in An Binh commune received a four-star
rating, while an orange variety using chicken eggs as fertiliser grown by

OCOP products are
hoped to enhance competitiveness in the market, becoming a driving force for
the district’s agriculture and rural development.

product owners on the preparation of dossiers submitted to the OCOP programme
of the province.
The People’s Committee of Lac Thuy district
has disseminated the programme's implementation plan this year to all communes
and townships so that they can select prominent products.

district has the largest number of products vying for the province’s OCOP
programme. Nine local products seeking for the recognition this year include
Boi River’s tea of Boi River Thang Long Ltd. Co. in Phu Nghia commune and two
orange varieties of Chung Huong and Lan Thu farms in Phu Thanh and Phu Nghia
communes.
The others are a melon variety cultivated in Ba Hang Doi town, along with Khoan
Du honey, Lac Thuy custard apple, goat meat in Dong Tam commune, woven rattan
and lemongrass essential oil produced by An Lac Hoa eco-tourism company in An
Binh commune.
Deputy chiefof Lac Thuy district’s
Agriculture and Rural Development Division Hoang Dinh Chinh said that the
People’s Committees of both Hoa Binh province and Lac Thuy district have
earmarked funds for product owners. As many as 600 million VND (25,680 USD) was
sourced from the Hoa Binh Provincial People Committee, of which half will be
for training courses while the rest will be used to support product owners in
building dossiers.
This year, the
district plans to organize five training courses for product owners,
authorities and leaders of local organisations.
In addition, the
provincial Department of Science and Technology presented 20 million VND to
each product owner to help them make origin-tracing stamps, packaging and
labelling.
The agro-forestry-fishery product management branch will help the owners
produce their commodities under VietGAP standards with clear origins, as the
district eyes all of its OCOP products meeting the criteria./.
