In placing the production, distribution, and marketing models of smallholders and family farming at the centre of interventions, the OCOP helps countries leverage their potential and identify the Special Agricultural Products adapted to their agroecological production systems and national or cultural heritage, ensuring improved access to stable markets and acting as a key entry point for reaching their defined priorities.
Since the launch of the OCOP in September 2021, over 90 countries from all five FAO regions have joined the initiative, promoting the green development of over 56 Special Agricultural Products.
