Speaking at the conference, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thien Van emphasized that although OCOP products in 2023 increased sharply, compared to other provinces in the country and compared to the province's potential, Dak Lak's OCOP products are still small; most districts, towns and cities have not yet fully promoted the advantages and potential of the locality.
Therefore, localities need to focus on promoting communication work and supporting subjects to actively participate in the program according to the OCOP cycle to ensure that products that are rated as stars must be of good quality and accepted by the market.
Units introducing products at the evaluation conference
According to the New Rural Coordination Office, identifying the OCOP Program as a task that requires the participation of all departments, branches and localities, Dak Lak province has directed its implementation synchronously from the provincial to grassroots levels, focusing on promoting communication work, supporting subjects to actively participate in the Program according to the OCOP cycle, not chasing after achievements to ensure that products when rated with stars must be of good quality and accepted by the market.
To date, Dak Lak has 237 OCOP products (an increase of 152 products compared to 2022), including: 223 3-star products and 14 4-star products. In 2024, the Provincial OCOP Council will evaluate and classify 44 sets of 4-star potential product dossiers proposed by the locality.

Through the assessment survey of the Provincial OCOP Council Advisory Group, the subjects participating in the program are still facing difficulties such as: the scale and management capacity of economic organizations participating in the OCOP program are still small and weak, lack of knowledge about market economy and product development according to the value chain, and the preparation of OCOP dossiers is still facing many difficulties due to the need to complete many criteria according to the regulations of the OCOP Program. The understanding of some local officials and production subjects about product quality management is still limited, many contents still depend on consulting. However, with the efforts of authorities at all levels, the efforts of subjects and the support of consulting units, more and more subjects are voluntarily registering to participate.
