According to Ms. Van, the cooperative currently has 5 OCOP products, which are grown and processed according to standards, aiming at the health of consumers.

Coming to the 2023 agricultural market, Ms. Linh (Cho Ro Cultural and Culinary Cooperative) said that the cooperative is distributing agricultural products such as vermicelli, bamboo shoots, wild mushrooms, cham cheo, fish mint tea... from the northern mountainous provinces. These are natural products, grown, processed or collected directly from the forest by ethnic minorities.
