Hoa Binh focuses on building strong OCOP brands for sustainable growth

Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months.

This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
