Regarding the orientation for OCOP products, according to Mr. Chau Van Van - Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, developing OCOP products contributes to continuing to restructure the agricultural sector associated with small-scale industry, rural occupations and services to develop the rural economy on the basis of enhancing the application of digital transformation and promoting the circular economy, contributing to increasing people's income, preserving cultural values, protecting rural landscapes and environment, contributing to building sustainable new rural areas in localities. By 2025, the province strives to have 100-120 OCOP products recognized as 3 stars or higher, of which 2-3 potential 5-star products are proposed to the Central Government for evaluation and recognition of national OCOP products; consolidate and upgrade at least 50% of OCOP products that have been evaluated and classified; prioritize the development of OCOP products associated with product brands, and develop rural tourism services.

Tay Ninh is focusing on developing rural tourism products by building tourist areas and spots that are suitable to the province's potential and advantages to connect the province's general tourism system, creating a rich variety of tourism products. In addition, the province also develops agricultural products and local specialties under the program "One Commune One Product" to serve the needs of tourists.

Tan Nhien Company Limited invests in facilities and production processes to improve and create rice paper products with their own unique identity.

Thus, it can be seen that the creation of unique, quality products is contributing to creating a specialty market that is attractive to tourists, thereby increasing competitiveness not only in terms of product quantity but also in quality, opening up great opportunities for local specialties to go further, even to foreign markets.
