To reach the targets, the MARD has restructured the agricultural sectortowards stronger value chains and linked production and sales, initiallyfocusing on national products, and strong products at provincial level anddistrict-commune levels.

The ministry has also enhanced the application of science andtechnology, especially in agro-forestry and fisheries production.

OCOP has been designed to suit specific communes, concentrating ondifferent products for each locality.
