At the event, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Lao Cai Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and the provincial Center for Agricultural Trade Promotion jointly organised a forum discussing chances for local production and consumption of OCOP products as well as products for export. It was attended by 150 participants.
