(HBO) – Lac Thuy district has had 10 products meeting provincial standards of the "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme, including two rated four stars and eight rated three stars. In the recent past, aside from improving product quality, it has boosted selling local OCOP products online to reach more buyers.
The Boi River tea is one of the six OCOP products of Lac Thuy district sold on the postmart.vn platform.
So far, six OCOP products of Lac Thuy have been sold on the e-commerce platform of postmart.vn, namely the Boi River tea of the Song Boi Two-Member Co. Ltd, the Chung Huong orange of the Chuong Huong garden in Phu Nghia commune, the Dong Bong custard apple of the Dong Tam agricultural service cooperative, the red-flesh dragon fruit of the Thanh Ha agricultural service cooperative, and the Ngoc Han chicken egg of the Nam Son cooperative.
Selling OCOP products on e-commerce websites is a move to help local enterprises, cooperatives, and farmers to step up advertising, boost sale, seek partners, and reduce dependence on intermediary traders. Meanwhile, consumers can purchase original specialities with high quality and reasonable prices.
In the time ahead, Lac Thuy district will continue coordinating with the Vietnam Post branch in Hoa Binh province to put up the four remaining OCOP products for sale on postmart.vn, namely the Khoan Du bee honey of the Khoan Du beekeeping cooperative, the honeydew melon of the Vietnam Organic Farm JSC, the Lac Thuy orange of the ThuLand garden in Phu Thanh commune, and the orange of the Vu Duy Tan garden in Thong Nhat commune./.
