Vietnam regional economic development through innovation and investment reform

In Can Tho, local businesses are leveraging the OCOP (One Commune, One Product) program to elevate agricultural goods through deep processing and innovation. Loc Khang Import Export Co., Ltd. recently secured 4-star OCOP certification for three vegetarian products, including taro and young jackfruit patties. The company currently produces 100 tons of products per month, primarily supplying retailers in Ho Chi Minh City. Similarly, DGFood Co., Ltd. has achieved 4-star OCOP status for 10 of its products.

Meanwhile, Phu Tho province is implementing a strategic plan for 2026-2030 to improve its business investment environment. The province aims to rank among the top five locations in Vietnam for economic management quality (PCI). Key initiatives include the ‘Entrepreneur Coffee’ model to resolve legal and land issues for businesses, and strategic partnerships with technology corporations such as Viettel, VNPT, and FPT to implement data-driven administrative solutions and digital transformation.
