    Abstract

    The OVOP concept is a unique approach to local
    development. Introduced during the 1980s in Oita, Japan,
    OVOP became a successful regional economic programme
    due to its approaches in transforming local products into
    competitive products in local, national, as well as global
    markets. This movement has been an effective tool in
    improving the welfare of rural people, village economic
    dynamism, local income, and social solidarity by creating
    unique and value-added products. The OVOP approach has
    been popular among developing countries due to its
    potential to reverse rural economic decay and rebuild rural
    community spirit (Igusa 2008).
