At the conference, the Director of the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Xuan Dai said, that Hanoi has always been determined to implement the OCOP One Commune One Product Programme, to promote rural areas’ advantages and increase incomes for people.
The programme also helps to restructure the city’s agricultural sector in association with the development of handicrafts, trades, services, and rural tourism, and promote sustainable rural economic development based on the increased applications of digital transformation and circular economy, preservation of cultural values, resources management and the preservation of biodiversity, rural landscapes and rural environment.
Deputy chief of the Hanoi New-style Rural Construction Programme Coordination Office Nguyen Van Chi said that Hanoi is a leading locality in Vietnam in implementing the OCOP programme with 2,167 products having been recognised, accounting for 22% of the total recognised products across the country.
After certifying OCOP products, Hanoi always pays great attention to organising events, fairs, and seminars, to promote the products. Up to now, the city has opened 85 sites to promote OCOP products.
In addition, individuals and organisations with OCOP products continuously improve product quality, design, packaging, and branding.
Many products have been exported to demanding markets including Australia, Europe, and Japan.
