Side Event | Sharing Innovative Solutions and Best Practices on Special Agricultural Products Development: One Country One Priority Product in Asia and the Pacific
13:30 - 14:30 hrs. (Bangkok Time)
The Global Action on One Country One Piority Product (OCOP), which was announced globally by FAO Director General in 2021, will support countries in their efforts to transform national agrifood systems towards more resilience, sustainability, inclusiveness and efficiency. The country-led approach of the initiative relies on developing the value chains for special agricultural products (SAPs) with unique quality and untapped potential for production and market growth. The interventions will aim to support small and family farmers’ access to high value markets, generate income for communities with a focus on women and youth, optimize the use of natural resources and energy, and improve the nutrition and food security of the population. OCOP aims to optimize production and market systems of SAPs, minimize post-harvest losses and food waste, maximize climate adaptation and use of the climate smart technologies, and increase their direct or indirect contribution in improving nutrition and food security.
Objectives of the Side Event
- Showcase on successful experiences in sustainable development of Special Agricultural Products in Asia-Pacific.
- Demonstrate the varieties of SAPs and the effectiveness of innovative approaches for SAPs
- Strengthen partnership on OCOP.
