(HBO) - A fair introducing products that meet the standards of the "One Commune - One Product” (OCOP) programme and are closely related to the culture of northern mountainous provinces has taken place in Hanoi’s Tay Ho district.
Visitors
keen on Hoa Binh’s OCOP products.
Highlights of the fair included a display of OCOP products and
specialties in 150 stalls, arts and cultural performances, and a host of
culinary delights from different localities.
Hoa Binh brought to the fair a number of goods that were recognised as
provincial-level OCOP products last year. They included Shacha Inchi tea from
the Inca Vietnam JSC in Huu Nghi ward in Hoa Binh city; Solanum jelly from the
Bao Hieu agro-forestry cooperative in Bao Hieu commune in Yen Thuy district; Chien
Tho cellophane noodles from the family business of Do Quang Chien in Hoa Binh
city; and fish fillets from the Cuong Thinh Construction and Services Limited Company,
among others.
The fair was a major opportunity for manufacturers of local OCOP goods to
promote their products and link with distribution networks like shopping
centres, supermarkets, stores retailing safe farm produce, and digital trade
platforms./.
During the two days of November 14th – 15th, at the Provincial Cultural Palace, the Department of Industry and Trade organized a conference to connect the product consumption of the ethnic minorities and the mountainous areas in 2024. There was the attendance of the representatives of leaders of a number of departments, branches, businesses, manufacturers and distributors inside and outside the province.
The One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme is reshaping the rural economy of Lac Son district, helping improve living standards, particularly among the ethnic minority communities in remote areas of Lac Son district.
The Van Mai dam xanh (Bangana lemassoni) fish has long been famous for its unique and delicious flavour, earning a spot on the menus of many restaurants and attracting food connoisseurs. In recent years, residents in Van Mai commune, Mai Chau district, have expanded their fish farming areas and striven to build a strong reputation for their product. They are also working to establish it as an OCOP (One Commune, One Product) item to increase their income.
Outstanding rural industrial products of Hoa Binh province in 2024 were recently honoured and granted certificates, becoming a source of pride for producers and also a boost for local economic development. The honourees are all deeply imbued with the local cultural identity and boast considerable commercial potential, helping popularise the image of Hoa Binh to domestic and international consumers. This is also a solid stepping stone for rural industrial establishments to develop.
In the first 10 months of 2024, Hoa Binh city made significant progress in job creation and labour exports, sending 112 workers abroad through partnerships with authorised recruitment firms.
An award ceremony to announce the official certification for Mai Chau district’s Bangana lemassoni fish, a specialty of the locality because of its unique flavour, was held recently in the district.
