YBO - Tram Tau district has rolled out favourable policies to help local strong products meet criteria of the One Commune One Products (OCOP) programme. Many plants have become commodities of high economic value.

Mong ethnic people in Tram Tau district exchange experience in taro planting and caring.

Giang A Cho's family, who lives in Chi Lu village, Phinh Ho commune, has more than 2 hectares of century-old Shan Tuyet tea trees. After each harvest, his family strives to take care of the trees, ensuring that their tea plantation develop well.

Cho said he has joined the Phinh Ho Shan Tuyet Tea Cooperative. Thanks to attending training sessions, visiting models in neighbouring districts and provinces and receiving science and technology transfer, all tea buds of his family are purchased.

Giang A Lau, head of Phinh Ho Shan Tuyet Tea Cooperative, said the production and packaging of tea products are carried out in line with European organic standards, therefore the quality of tea products is improved. They are also favoured by tea lovers at home and abroad, he said, adding the fact that Phinh Ho Shan Tuyet tea is certified as OCOP product and receiving geographical indication has a great impact on the cooperative.
