The goal is to support the green development of these products, ensuring they meet global sustainability standards and can contribute to the socio-economic development of the regions.This document addresses the situation in the Plurinational State of Bolivia. The OCOP product is quinoa, a crop that holds exceptional cultural, nutritional, and environmental significance. The Plurinational State of Bolivia is recognized as one of the world's primary producers of quinoa, often referred to as the "golden grain of the Andes."
