The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) held a conference in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue on October 24 to gather ideas for the national programme on “One Commune, One Product” (OCOP).
Joining production chains has become a vital choice for cooperatives in the northern province Quang Ninh in order to survive, when most of them have limited capital and operate on small scale.
The northeastern province of Quang Ninh opened the fifth One Commune, Once Product (OCOP) fair on September 1 under the theme “Quang Ninh OCOP products – Vietnamese people’s brand”.
The northern province of Quang Ninh will develop the “One Commune, One Product programme into an important economic development scheme, with a focus on agricultural and non-agricultural production.
Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung hailed the northern province of Quang Ninh for leading in the implementation of “One Commune One Product” (OCOP) programme and gaining significant outcomes in the field.
Eighty two out of 125 communes and six out of ten districts in the northeastern province of Quang Ninh are expected to become new-style rural areas by the end of 2015.
