Investment in technology and equipment

At the same time, there must be attention and investment in traceability activities, quality declaration records, appropriate design, packaging and labeling. In particular, for 3-star products, there must be a product quality control plan, production batch records; for 4-star products, there must be an advanced quality management certificate ISO/GMP/HACCP... and environmental protection according to current regulations. Regarding the production process, it must be built from the input stage of raw materials to the process of preliminary processing, processing, packaging, preservation and sale to the market.

These are favorable conditions for developing and improving the quality of OCOP products.
However, besides the achieved results, many products are still in the form of preliminary processing, with low added value.
