Hanoi (VNA) – Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung has emphasizedthe need to absolutely avoid complaisance in assessing and recognising onecommune one product (OCOP) products during the implementation of the nationaltarget programme on new-style rural area building.

Addressing a national conference reviewing the OCOP programmein the 2018-2020 period in Hanoi on March 22, Dung said that in the time ahead,the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) will coordinate with otherministries and sectors in completing the Government’s dossiers to submit to theNational Assembly for approving investment in the programme for 2021-2025.

A report from the ministry said that the OCOP programme hasto date had 4,469 products with three-star and above ratings in 59 provincesand cities, 1.86 times higher than the target set for 2018-2020. Localitiesnationwide have so far organised 66 OCOP fairs.

MARD Minister Nguyen Xuan Cuong said that the figure ofnearly 4,500 products demonstrated the success of the first phase of theprogramme.

However, the report pointed to several shortcomings duringthe implementation of the first phase. Accordingly, several localities got troubledin defining their advantages and potential, and many only focused on completingexisting products and did not pay attention to developing new products.

Ministries, sectors and localities are required tostrengthen management over the implementation of the programme, guide theclassification of products in localities, and supplement and complete a set ofcriteria assessing and rating OCOP products.

For proposals and recommendations of ministries, sectors andlocalities, Deputy PM Dung asked the MARD to consider thoroughly and continueworking with them to build the OCOP programme for 2021-2025./.
