Hanoi’s OCOP program transforms local Agriculture
In Tráng Việt Commune, Mê Linh District, local farmers experienced uncertainty regarding their harvests due to fluctuating market conditions. However, the OCOP program has transformed their outlook. After achieving three- to four-star certifications, farmers now enjoy greater stability and confidence in their production. Đàm Văn Đua, director of Đông Cao Cooperative, reported that their cooperative cultivates 200 hectares, yielding 60,000 tonnes of vegetables annually. Since joining OCOP, 17 of their 18 evaluated products received three-star ratings, while one achieved a coveted four-star status. This recognition has not only stabilized their market access but also increased product value, allowing the cooperative to collaborate with a South Korean company for export-ready processing.
