Members of the Hoa Binh Council for the evaluation and classification of products joining the One Commune-One Product (OCOP) Programme examine products for assessment in 2023
This time, 14 provincial-level OCOP products were evaluated and classified. Of the total, 12 products, which earned 70 points from district-level councils, were proposed by districts to become 4-star OCOP products at the provincial level, while the remaining two, which were rated four stars in 2022, are receiving support to become national-level OCOP products in 2024.
The assessment results showed that all the 14 products meet the requirements for evaluation and classification, with two earning at least 90 points and 12 having 70-80 points. As a result, two OCOP products had the potential to be rated five stars, namely dried bamboo shoots for cooking and pre-sliced sour bamboo shoots produced by Kim Boi joint Stock Corporation.
Meanwhile, 12 products were rated four stars at the provincial level, including Giang Loc red-flesh pomelo, forest honey, Nhung Van turmeric starch, fresh bamboo shoots, Yen Thuy green bud tea, Thia canh (Gymnema sylvestre) jelly, Yen Thuong sticky rice wine, and Kim Boi mineral water.
Addressing the event, Dinh Cong Su, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee congratulated producers and cooperatives with rated products, and recognised their efforts, as well as support from the administration at all levels, in developing the OCOP products.
He said he hopes in 2024 and following years, the rankings of products that have been recognised as provincial and district-level OCOP products will be upgraded. The official asked provincial departments, sectors and localities to continue to coordinate closely together in effectively implementing the OCOP programme. The official also requested cooperatives and businesses to continue researching and renovating the designs and quality of their products to make them even better.
