The program on supporting distinctive local products was approved by provincial People’s Committee, aiming to develop five typical products of Binh Dinh, including Bau Da wine, Phu Gia conical hat, banh it la gai (glutinous rice cake covered with pinnate leaf), Quy Nhon fried fish, and Binh Dinh sedge mat.
The products selected to join the program will be supported to improve the quality and enhance the competitiveness.
As planned, relevant bodies will register the industrial property right for Phu Gia conical hat while the collection brand name of Bau Da wine will also be assisted to develop.
The Department of Science and Technology’s center for support of information and technology development is expected to hold courses on the issues.
Phu Gia conical hat village was recognized as a traditional craft village, which is one of 13 villages selected to join a plan to build tourism-culture village of Vietnam’s ethnic groups. However, Phu Gia conical hat hasn’t established the industrial property right.
The establishment of the industrial property right for Phu Gia conical would be done after some criteria are met, such as origin, quality, and production procedure, according to the center’s vice director Vo Cao Thi Mong Hoai.
Unlike the conical hat, Bau Da wine is more popular and it has a collection brand name. The program will focus on developing the brand name via the mass media this year, helping consumers know how to distinguish between Binh Dinh-made product and fake wine.
