The Da Nang Department of Agriculture and Rural Development on Wednesday appraised and classified products under the ‘One commune, one product’ (OCOP) programme in Da Nang.

Accordingly, the agency proposed the municipal People's Committee to recognise 11 products as OCOP ones, comprising two 4-star OCOP products and nine 3-star OCOP products.

In particular, dried unicorn leatherjacket filefish of Bac Dau Co., Ltd at 11 Van Don, Tho Quang Seafood Service Industrial Park and dried bird's nest of Tien Sa Salanganes Nest Co., Ltd at 20-22 Trung Luong 2, Hoa Xuan ward, Cam Le District are both recommended to be 4-star OCOP products.

Products that are proposed to be recognised as 3-star OCOP items are anchovy fish sauce of household-run business Truong Van Tranh in An Hai Bac Ward, Son Tra District; Linh Ung cajuput oil of the SHP Investment Production Trading Service Co., Ltd at B2-4 Le Duc Tho, Tho Quang Ward, Son Tra District; dried beef of Thu Trang production facility on Da Man 7 Street, Khue My Ward, Ngu Hanh Son District; abalone mushrooms of 1 Hoa Quy Agricultural Service Cooperative on Luu Quang Vu Street, Hoa Quy Ward; high-grade sprouted cereals of Nguyen Thi Oanh family-run facility at 46 Hoa Binh 7, Hoa Quy Ward; pork belly rolls mixed with green chili of Thao Sinh business and production facility at  86 Pham Nhu Tang, Thanh Khe District; leafy vegetables of An An Phat Garden Co., Ltd. At K6446/24 Ton Dan, Hoa Phat Ward, Cam Le District; Quang Linh coffee beans of Anh Linh coffee family-run establishment at 456 Me Thu, Hoa Xuan Ward, Cam Le District.

In the coming time, the municipal Department of Agriculture and Rural Development will continue to evaluate and classify OCOP products for the next phase.

The total number of products recognised as OCOP items in 2022 is expected to reach 25.
The OCOP model made its debut in 2008 in Viet Nam, following the model of Japan-initiated ‘One Village, One Product’ and Thailand-developed ‘One Town, One Product’.

It is an economic development programme for rural areas focusing on increasing internal power and values, which is also meant to help with the national target programme on upgrading rural areas.
