Over the past years, Hanoi has worked closely with cities and provinces to effectively carry out OCOP programmes. The department also helped bring OCOP products to distribution channels, supermarkets, food chains and OCOP points-of-sale, contributing to raising the city’s retail revenue and the campaign “Vietnamese prioritise Vietnamese goods”.

Many localities also effectively held connectivity activities to boost export and developed intensive farming areas with high economic efficiency.

The event will last till August 20./.
