It also supports activities of training, technical assistance, science and technology application and trade promotion, he added.

Under its plan to implement the programme, Hoa Binh will strive to standardize at least 25 percent of the existing local products, equivalent to about 50 products.

It also aims to develop between 10-15 tourism culture villages, while consolidating around 50 economic organizations, and developing at least 10 new economic organizations  for participating in the OCOP programme.

Attention will be paid to organising training courses to improve the management capacity of the programme for all officials at the provincial and district levels, and about 300 State management staff at all levels, as well as all leaders of enterprises and co-operatives, and owners of production households that registered to join the OCOP programme.

On the basis of selecting the most outstanding products for the implementation of the OCOP programme in the 2018-2020 period, the province will continue studies towards issuing a system of mechanisms and policies to promote investment for the scheme.

It will also continue supporting the development of enterprises and co-operatives, aiming to improve the quality and productivity of products joining the OCCOP programme.

joining the programme, local products will be invested to be developed into key branded ones. At the same time, trade promotion activities will be enhanced for those products, helping local enterprises seek more markets for their products.

Efforts will also be made to build a provincial-level database system of OCCOP products./.
