(HBO) – Kim Boi district has 10 products recognised as meeting 3-star OCOP (one commune on product) standards. In recent years, in order for OCOP products to reach the rating of 3 stars or higher, the district has paid attention to directing and implementing the OCOP Programme to communes, towns and producers with practical solutions, associated with the new-style rural area building movement in the locality.

Green Agriculture Cooperative (Du Sang commune) meets 3-star OCOP standards.
Being recognised as OCOP products has helped them have
higher economic value and clear origin, and ensure food hygiene and safety,
with environmentally friendly materials used. These products have affirmed
their reputation and brand, and helped expand production and business markets,
meeting market needs, create jobs and increase incomes and the material and
spiritual life of local people. The OCOP programme has contributed to the
effective implementation of the group of criteria of "Organisation of
production and rural economic development” in the building of advanced and
model new-style rural areas.
However, Nguyen Minh Anh, deputy head of the Agriculture and
Rural Development Department of Kim Boi district, said some enterprises are
facing difficulties in processing and preservation technologies to improve
their products’ values and their capacity to supply to the market in large
quantities. They also see limitations in accessing digital technology, selling
goods through e-commerce platforms, connecting with destinations and tourist
areas.
Therefore, Kim Boi is determined to develop a plan to
implement the OCOP programme in a more effective and substantive manner, with
product quality and reputation improved.
According to the plan, in 2023, Kim Boi district will build
at least two 3-star OCOP products, while focusing on supporting producers to
maintain and improve the quality of the already-starred products.
To that end, the district concentrates on supporting the production
process and product branding. To date, Kim Boi has integrated many programmes
and financial support from the provincial Cooperative Alliance, and industrial
promotion and farmer support funds to organise training courses on technical
guidance, branding support, and trade promotion.
After more than four years of implementing a project launched by the Hoa Binh Party Committee’s Standing Board on developing agriculture and promoting product consumption linked with building new-style rural areas for the 2021-2025 period, the province’s industry and trade sector has made significant strides, greatly contributing to local socio-economic development.
Luong Son district has identified 2025 as the year for the accelerated breakthrough to successfully implement the socio-economic development plan for the 5-year period from 2021 to 2025. The district has been focusing on executing the plans and trying to achieve a GRDP growth rate of approximately 15%.
Since the beginning of this year, under the direction of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the Sub-Department of Agricultural, Forestry, and Fishery Product Quality Management has strengthened the integration of the professional activities to promote and guide the organizations and individuals in the production and trading of agricultural, forestry, and fishery products to comply with the legal regulations regarding the use of chemicals, pesticides and veterinary medicines in crop cultivation, livestock farming and aquaculture. They also provide guidance to processing and manufacturing establishments on keeping the records to trace the product origins and using food additives from the approved list according to the regulations.
