OCOP products recognized with three to five stars in the 2026-2030 period will also receive various reward levels. five-star products will be awarded 30 million VND. Each entity can receive awards for a maximum of five products per evaluation year.

Annually, the city allocates 25 billion VND from its budget and mobilizes other socialized resources to implement the program.

The 14 categories of support detail how these new policies are expected to enhance the capacity of production entities. The city prioritizes supporting OCOP products linked to regional advantages, with potential for scale expansion, participation in value chains, and meeting the requirements of modern distribution systems. The policy also aims to transition OCOP from small-scale production to processes with clear guidelines, meeting domestic and international standards.

Statistics show that Da Nang has 552 OCOP products with valid recognition. Among them, two products have achieved five stars, 96 products four stars, and 454 products three stars. Food, beverage, and medicinal herb products continue to account for a significant portion.
