The Global Action on the Green Development of Special Agricultural Products: One Country, One Priority Product (OCOP) is a five-year initiative launched by FAO in 2021, aimed at promoting agricultural products with distinct qualities that have the potential for sustainable development. The program seeks to enhance the value of these unique products at global, regional, and local levels, helping countries leverage their agricultural heritage while promoting environmentally friendly practices.In Latin America and the Caribbean, 14 countries have been selected to participate in the OCOP initiative. Each nation has chosen a specific agricultural product that reflects their unique cultural and environmental context. The goal is to support the green development of these products, ensuring they meet global sustainability standards and can contribute to the socio-economic development of the regions.This document addresses the situation in the Plurinational State of Bolivia. The OCOP product is quinoa, a crop that holds exceptional cultural, nutritional, and environmental significance. The Plurinational State of Bolivia is recognized as one of the world's primary producers of quinoa, often referred to as the "golden grain of the Andes." Quinoa’s unique resilience to harsh climates and its high nutritional value make it a cornerstone of food security both locally and globally.
