PHNOM PENH:The Cambodian Prime Minister has noticed improved quality standards and packaging of Cambodian products in recent years, thanks to the One Village One Product (OVOP) movement, and he called on his fellow Cambodians to support the homemade goods.
Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet highlighted the call in a message to his compatriots to mark the 8th National Day for the Promotion of the Use of Cambodian Products to fall on April 9.
Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet, who is also the Honorary Chair of the National Committee to Promote the OVOP Movement, encouraged a national spirit of pride in Cambodian products to motivate the producers, emphasing that there is no bigger support for Cambodian products than the one from the fellow Cambodians.
According to the Prime Minister, Cambodia has been diversifying its economy, and the promotion of OVOP is part of the endeavour.
The government launched the OVOP policy to engage and promote local producers in tapping abundant resources and raw materials in Cambodia and processing them into high-quality products.
Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet underlined the importance of mainstreaming digital technology into the production chain of all domestic products not only to elevate their quality but also to reduce cost and ensure their competitiveness in both the local and international markets.
