One Product (OVOP) is one of the PPP based program which is currently extended to 32 districts covering 22 different products. The program is on the 9th year of its operation.
OVOP/ODOP
The "One Village One Product" or OVOP is a community centered and demand driven rural economic development program that originated in Japan in 1979, particularly in Oita Prefecture. Credit goes to
Dr. Morihiko Hiramatsu, former governor of Oita Prefecture, who had named and promoted OVOP not simply as a program but as a campaign with a vision of revitalizing the remote villages at a time when there was a problem of depopulation due to migration of village youngsters to the big cities for seeking employment. The effort of Dr. Hiramatsu has proved fairly successful in Japan.
Inspired by the successful result of the OVOP program in Japan, Nepalese private sector-FNCCI has decided to extend such types of programs in all 75 districts of the country. For this, 48 different types of products having local essence were identified. Most of the commodities selected are agricultural products while others are religious and village tourism products. Apart from production, processing and marketing activities, the OVOP/ODOP program has also focused on social activities like development of Special Economic Zone and Medical City in the potential districts.
