Le Ba Ngoc, Deputy Chairman of the Vietnam Handicraft Exporters Association, said that the network looks to connect nations, organisations and individuals over the globe to effectively carry out the OCOP movement, thus contributing to sustainable development in rural areas.

The iOCOP network will help localities achieve sustainable economic growth through the improvement of value chains of their typical products, and use their resources to develop products that can be competitive in both domestic and foreign markets.

It will also help improve the capacity of State management officials and partners participating in iOCOP value chains, and organise market development and promotion programmes and fairs at the national and international levels, Ngoc stated.
