The program aims to promote trade activities between localities, businesses, and cooperatives in the Northeast region in particular and the country in general.

In this series of events, Bac Kan province will also organize a conference to promote consumption and connect trade of products and goods of Bac Kan province in 2023; a training conference on market development skills and product consumption on the Internet for businesses and cooperatives; a forum for promoting consumption and connecting trade of agricultural products and OCOP products in Bac Kan province in 2023.

Mr. Ha Sy Thang, Director of the Bac Kan Department of Industry and Trade said that, this occasion is an opportunity for businesses and cooperatives of Bac Kan province and localities in the Northeast region to introduce standard rural industrial products, OCOP products.

Mr. Hoang Thanh Binh, Deputy Director of the Bac Kan Department of Crop Production—Plant Protection and Quality Management, assessed that Bac Kan province does not have much rice growing area but has the advantage of producing clean agricultural products. For a long time, people in Bac Kan used fewer chemical fertilizers and pesticides than in other localities. In particular, the climate, water sources, and soil in Bac Kan are still relatively clean, creating very favourable conditions for the province to develop organic agriculture, including rice. If there is good promotion and effective linkages between people and businesses, organic rice production will develop rapidly in the coming time.

In the coming time, Bac Kan province will continue to expand the area of organic rice growing. Currently, localities are mobilizing people and attracting businesses and cooperatives to participate in the linkage chain from production and processing to consumption.
