With only 3 weeks left until Lunar New Year 2025, OCOP product owners in the province are boosting production to meet market demand. Coming to Hung Tan commune, Hung Nguyen district in the last days of the year, households making banh ca and com are busy producing to meet Tet orders. Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa, Head of the Farmers' Association of Nam village (Hung Tan commune) said: "The banh ca product with 3 OCOP stars is also a snack, a rustic gift that is favored by customers and consumed strongly during the Lunar New Year. Around the 10th lunar month every year is the peak time for Tet production for households. During Tet, output increases 3-4 times compared to normal days".

Currently, thanks to the application of science and technology in production, product designs have been improved, with barcodes, QR stamps for traceability, many products have registered intellectual property and geographical indications, so they meet the strict requirements of the market. Making OCOP products into gifts and presents for Tet will open up a new direction in product consumption, at the same time, enhance the level, enhance the brand and create a promotional effect for OCOP products.
