Up to now, the whole province has 152 OCOP products certified, including 148 3-star products, two 4-star products and two National 5-star products.

In his conclusion speech, Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Hoang Gia Long requested, that identifying the last six months of the year as the time to accelerate the completion of the set targets and tasks, the agricultural sector needs to be determined and focus on directing the acceleration of production progress, to ensure food security for the people and must have specific solutions for each field. Changing people’s thinking is the key to the development of the sector. Along with that, the whole industry and localities should actively implement specialised resolutions on agriculture, transform the structure of crops and livestock, innovate and further strengthen State management on forest protection and development, forest fire prevention and control, and the exploitation and use of irrigation works. In addition, the sector must proactively respond to natural disasters, and disease forecasting, and prevention must be carried out early to prevent spread.
