Nghe An Provincial People's Committee has just issued a decision approving the results of the evaluation and classification of products participating in the One Commune One Product (OCOP) Program, phase 2, 2024. Accordingly, the province has recognized 11 4-star OCOP products for the first time.

Products that are recognized for the first time and upgraded will be granted a provincial OCOP certificate by the Provincial People's Committee, and have the right to use the OCOP logo and stamp on the product packaging. Products that are recognized for the first time and upgraded will be rewarded according to regulations.

The classification assessment results are valid for 03 years (36 months) from the date of issue.

Specifically, the products that were recognized with 4 stars include: Pu Mat Solanum procumbens extract, Pu Mat Gymnema sylvestre extract, Solanum procumbens instant tea, Gymnema sylvestre instant tea (Pu Mat Medicinal Materials Joint Stock Company, Con Cuong district); Sy Thang lotus peanuts (Sy Thang Agricultural, Forestry and Fishery Import-Export Company Limited, Dien Chau district); Nutritional cereals, nutritional nut milk (MOM BEAUTY Production & Trading Company Limited, Vinh city); Bamboo woven screen - (Duc Phong Company Limited, Vinh city); Chung Tai veal ham - (Le Dinh Chung business household, Yen Thanh district); Viet An soy oil - (Bui Thi Thanh business household, Nghia Dan district); ATC Ganoderma mushroom (ATC Investment & Production Joint Stock Company, Vinh city).

In this evaluation, the Duc Phong bamboo lamp product group (including twisted bamboo hanging lamps, bamboo wall lamps, lotus petal table lamps) of Duc Phong Company Limited was submitted to the Central Evaluation Council for approval of the National OCOP title. This is a unique handicraft product, using natural materials, environmentally friendly and has high value in the market.

In recent times, the OCOP program has helped many agricultural and handicraft products of Nghe An increase their commercial value and expand their consumption markets. Recognizing OCOP products not only contributes to enhancing the brand of local agricultural products but also helps businesses, cooperatives and production households have the opportunity to access major distribution channels inside and outside the province.

The Department of Agriculture and Environment will continue to coordinate with localities to support businesses in perfecting their products and ensuring quality according to OCOP standards. At the same time, the province will also organize trade promotion activities to bring OCOP products to domestic and international markets, promoting sustainable consumption.

The evaluation and classification of OCOP products will be carried out periodically, ensuring that the products maintain quality, meet consumer requirements and promote sustainable rural development. At the same time, coordinate with localities to conduct annual inspections of OCOP products and propose handling of products that do not meet the standards of the OCOP Program.
