Descripción

The One Country One Priority Product (OCOP) initiative was officially launched globally by Qu Dongyu, Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on 7 September 2021. It aims to enhance the sustainability of value chains of the Special Agricultural Products (SAPs). The global success in implementing the OCOP initiative depends greatly on the establishment of an effective demonstration mechanism to lead, showcase, and facilitate the sustainable development of SAPs in all OCOP countries. This report presents the outcomes of the First FAO Technical Workshop on the One Country One Priority Product (OCOP) Initiative, held from 15 to 18 July 2024 in Sanya, China. OCOP focal points from 16 demonstration countries across five regions, experts, partners and stakeholders exchanged experiences and strategies to promote the sustainable development of Special Agricultural Products (SAPs). Co-organized by the FAO OCOP Secretariat and the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences (CATAS), the workshop emphasized national leadership, value chain development, resource mobilization and synergies. It strengthened collaboration, technical exchanges, and networks to accelerate OCOP’s contribution to more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems worldwide.
