22 OCOP products have expired certification

Participating in the OCOP program is an opportunity for products to be promoted and brought closer to consumers.

According to regulations, after the 36-month expiration date, if the subject does not participate in re-evaluation and re-rating, the OCOP star and the label with the OCOP star will expire. Subjects are not allowed to continue using the OCOP product certification mark to print on product packaging.

The reality of implementing the OCOP program shows that the fact that products have expired but have not completed the application for re-evaluation is because some entities are not interested in the OCOP product criteria and have not had time to complete the application for re-evaluation; some entities are cooperatives in the process of dissolution...

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Tuan, Deputy Chief of the Office of New Rural Coordination, Deputy Head of the Department of Economic Cooperation and Rural Development, said: Participating in the OCOP program helps products have the opportunity to reach large markets and create prestige with customers. To encourage subjects to participate in the appraisal of OCOP products, the unit has sent notices to localities to promptly propagate and mobilize subjects to continue to improve product quality and participate in appraisal, re-accreditation or upgrading of products.
