HBO – Ky Son district in Hoa Binh province is actively implementing the "One Commune One Product” (OCOP) programme, which is considered a lever to develop agricultural and rural economy. The programme’s purpose is that one commune has at least one key product which has comparative advantages, towards building brand names, and expanding production and consumption of key products, thus helping increase locals’ incomes and achieve sustainable poverty reduction.

The district now has 30 key products belonging to five commodity groups, which have high economic values and can be developed into OCOP products. Of the total, 22 products are food, one is beverage, four are medical herbs, two belong to the souvenir-interior-decoration group, and one belongs to the rural tourism service group. Total revenue brought by these products is valued at around 90 billion VND a year. The products are mainly sold in Hoa Binh and its surrounding localities.

 

Co-operative raising bees in Van Tien commune, Dan Ha commune (Ky Son) with 1,200 beehives is building honey brand.

On the basis of registering typical product ideas of communes, the People's Committee of Ky Son district has registered three products to participate in the OCOP programme in the district in 2019, including: honey products of 1,985 beehives; dry vermicelli of Tien Phu co-operative in Phu Chau and Phu Minh communes with a capacity of 350 kg a day; Polyscias fruticosa wine of families of Dao Thi Hong An and Duong Thi Huong in Ward 3 of Ky Son town with a capacity of 30 bottle a day.

Talking about the prospect of implementing the OCOP programme, Hoang Van Minh, Vice Chairman of Ky Son District People's Committee said that the opportunity brought by the programme will be huge when all communes and towns in the district can identify their key products, and ask for support from authorised offices when facing difficulties in building the product connectivity and consumption chain, and forming commodity-oriented concentrated production areas.

If being implemented well, the programme will boost investment in production and processing, and connect consumer markets, thus contributing to intensifying economic development and increasing locals’ incomes, Minh said, adding that the programme will also help communes speed up new-style rural area building./.
