Dong Nai province convened a conference to fully
grasp the “One commune – One Product” Program.
The “One commune – One Product” is a program to
promote the economic development in rural areas towards endogenous development
and increased value and it is also a solution and a task for the implementation
of the national target program on the construction of new countryside. The State
plays the role of a creator, introducing a legal framework and policies, setting
orientations and planning the production areas of goods and services.
The program having been carried out in the province
has initially achieved certain results. Surveys show that the province’s 112
types of products have participated in the Program with a production scale of
various entities. However, the Program’s implementation progress is still slow
compared to actual requirements. The quality of the products participating in
the “One Commune – One Prodcut” Program indicates the increased value that is
not high and there have still existed weaknesses in the introduction and
promotion process of products due to the fact that goods is mainly being
manufactured in a small scale, that there are still few chains associated with
product consumption, organic agriculture, clean agriculture, hi-tech
agriculture, processing industry, especially deep processing, and that some
policies of the organizations have not been pursued in a timely and effective
manner.
In order to carry out the Program effectively in the
coming time, the provincial Standing Party Committee has asked levels of Party
Committees, the staff of Party Committees, unions, and concerned agencies and
units to continue fully and seriously grasping the Party and the State’s
guidelines and policies on the significance, objectives and importance of the
“One Commune – One Product” Program; promote the dissemination of propaganda
information to help to raise the awareness of officials, Party members and
people of the Program; simultaneously focus on leadership and directions to
improve the National “One Commune – One Product” Program and meet development
requirements, especially on increasing heads or leaders’ role and
responsibility; pay attention to reviewing the products with advantages and
enormous market demand, which is based on to expand production capacity and set
orientations to create the products meeting the “One Commune – One Product”
Program requirements; boost trade promotion and build the image of the “One
Commune – One Product” Program products, which ensure high quality, satisfy food
safety and hygiene requirements and are environmentally-friendly; establish
links and joint ventures between producers and the businesses that purchase,
process and consume products; help to build and develop trademarks, brands, and
geographical indications, and improve product designs and models, and so on;
enhance the application of science and technology advances, especially the
agricultural technology applications 4.0 to create the goods and services for
the “One Commune – One Product” Program; and choose science and technology as
the key to create a breakthrough, improve quality, and be associated with brand
building.
