The province will strengthen trade promotion and the application of e-commerce platforms to bring its products closer to customers in domestic and foreign markets, said Tung.

The official said that Bac Giang will support local farmers to connect with processing businesses as well as distribution chains, to form a network of production, distribution, and sale of clean farm produce for supermarkets.

According to Tung, from now until 2030, Bac Giang will concentrate on speeding up the OCOP programme, with greater attention to developing community-based tourism with the promotion of local cultural and historical relics as well as traditional craft villages.

Bac Giang will boost the growth of its strong products towards OCOP criteria, aiming to improve the income of local farmers in parallel with building new-style rural areas, he said.

Along with that, Bac Giang will perfect its products in the stage of packaging and labeling to ensure traceability, while strengthening the application of digital technologies in managing and trading products, aiming to win the domestic market and expand to foreign markets.

In the period, Bac Giang expects to standardise 25-30 products each year towards two or three-star OCOP standards. By 2030, the province hopes to have at least 350 OCOP products to enter the top five localities in the country. These include 3-5 OCOP products rated five stars, 130 recognised as four-star products and the remaining products qualifying for three stars.
