Vietnam promotes global OCOP dialogue for sustainable agrifood systems

Hosting the first "High-Level Inter-regional Knowledge Exchange on One Country One Priority Product (OCOP) Models" between African and Asian countries, Vietnam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), has initiated a global platform for dialogue on the development of special agricultural products. The two-day event (15-16/7) aims to accelerate the transformation of food systems toward greater sustainability, inclusiveness, and cultural identity. Drawing from its experience implementing the "One Commune One Product" (OCOP) program, Vietnam not only shared a successful model but also called for stronger South-South cooperation to connect policy, technology, and knowledge among developing countries.
