(HBO) – In a bid to step up the local "One Commune One Product (OCOP)” programme, authorities at all levels in Cao Phong district have actively run communication campaigns, complied dossiers, and rated OCOP products since 2019, hence an increase in production value and people’s incomes.

OCOP oranges for luxury gifts of the 3T Cao Phong
agricultural cooperative are certified with four stars.
Currently, the district has eight OCOP products, including
four-star rated ones like fermented orange juice and oranges by the Ha Phong
cooperative, and luxury orange gifts by the 3T Cao Phong agricultural
cooperative, as well as three-star rated ones like orange juice and wine by the
Ha Phong cooperative, among others.
Vu Thi Le Thuy, Director of the 3T Cao Phong agricultural
cooperative said the production and harvest of its VietGAP-certificated oranges
comply with strict technical regulations. To enhance the fruit’s value added,
the cooperative has launched its high-class OCOP gift product, which is
associated with an organic production chain for a green living environment. The
product got a 3-star ranking in 2019, and was upgraded to 4 stars in 2020.
Bui Van Dan, Head of the Cao Phong Department of Agriculture
and Rural Development, said the Ha Phong and Cao Phong cooperatives produce
seven out of the district’s eight OCOP products, reflecting the leading role of
the cooperative model in the local OCOP programme.
Currently, the local People’s Committee has built a plan for
OCOP products development for 2021 – 2025, which will see up to two new
products developed. During the period, relevant agencies will coordinate to
improve the local production capacity and product quality as well as promote
communications and trade activities./.
