Tuyen Quang Festival Promotes Agricultural Products, OCOP, and Craft Villages Linked to Tourism

Tuyen Quang Province in northern Vietnam opened a festival linking agricultural products, OCOP (One Commune One Product), and traditional craft villages with tourism on September 18, 2026. The event took place on Chien Thang Song Lo Street and was attended by leaders from the Provincial People's Council, People's Committee, and Fatherland Front Committee, as well as representatives from the Departments of Industry and Trade of 17 provinces and cities. The festival aims to boost the local economy and expand market access for OCOP products. OCOP is a national program designed to brand unique regional specialties and enhance their competitiveness in domestic and international markets. Tuyen Quang Province emphasizes the quality and safety of its OCOP products, adhering to the principle of "quality as the root, safety as the priority." In recent years, rural tourism development linked with OCOP products has gained traction in Vietnam, with efforts to promote OCOP sales through digital platforms. This festival seeks to showcase the appeal of regional agricultural products, handicrafts, and the communities that produce them, thereby attracting tourists. Traceability registration for agricultural products is also advancing, with over 800,000 products registered. Furthermore, initiatives like a 'green passport' are being implemented to facilitate agricultural exports, improving access to international markets. Vietnam's agricultural, forestry, and fishery exports have reached $49.3 billion this year, highlighting the sector's growth.
