Local farmers have been encouraged to change the structure of plants, select suitable plant varieties, expand cultivation areas, increase productivity and improve the quality of their products, and form concentrated commodity production areas.
To expand markets for OCOP products, specialties and potential products of Hoa Binh, in the coming time, the province will enhance communication campaigns and focus on building brands for products and developing trade villages.
