(HBO) – Being a pioneering force in implementing the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme, co-operatives always take the initiative to improve product quality, packaging, labeling and create origin-tracing stamps to meet the programme’s standards.
In 2019, Hoa Binh province had 27 products qualified for
OCOP standards, of which, 16 were from 13 co-operatives. They included five
four-star and 11 three-star products.

ozone, drying and packing orange with bio-film wrap.
To assist co-operatives joining the OCOP programmes, the province’s alliance
of cooperatives has revised traditional products and staples of each locality and
helped complete dossiers to take part in the programme.
Co-operatives have spared no efforts to improve the quality of their products, bolster
production in value chain and under VietGAP standards. They also paid attention
to trademark registration, labels and origin-tracing stamps. Therefore, a
number of co-operatives have various products qualified for the OCOP programme,
particularly Ha Phong with four.
Some local OCOP products, namely fresh whole chicken of the Lac Thuy chicken
breeding co-operative in An Binh commune (Lac Thuy district), Giang Loc red
flesh pomelo in Man Duc township (Tan Lac district), handmade brocade weaving in
Lac village of Chieng Chau commune (Mai Chau district), "doi” seed in Chi Dao
(Lac Son), are all traditional items of the locality.
Those products have become popular and gained consumers’ trust. Effective
operations of the co-operatives have helped raise income for members and
workers.
Some local co-operatives have being devised plans for production and
application of science and technology to bolster quality services in keeping
with the value chain. They also step up trademark registration and the use of
origin-tracing stamps to join the programme in upcoming years.
Statistics showed that as of the end of the first quarter, a total of 54
products, including those from 30 co-operatives, had been registered to take
part in the programme./.
