Challenges at the time
• Migration from rural to urban areas.– Urban congestion & pollution
– Rural de-population & accelerated ageing
– Young people leaving. No successors.
• Mindset in rural communities– “We have ‘nothing’.”
– Dependency syndrome → Expected help from outside
• People expected support from the governments
– “All we had plenty was jealousy.”

An origin of OVOP – Oyama Town

“Centipede” agriculture strategy
Plums were a success.
Chestnuts were not.→Abandoned.
Diversified products (They decided to stand on a
hundred legs.)

![Page 15: One Village One Product (OVOP) Movement](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051306/627965651d40b50b4507d921/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
“To develop our own initiatives by
identifying and making use of
locally available resources with
global perspectives.”
Oita
One Village One Product (OVOP)
A “movement” in Oita
Prefecture started by
Governor Hiramatsu in
1979. Based on existing
local initiatives.

WHAT IS OVOP?
… and how it was done in Oita?
16
![Page 17: One Village One Product (OVOP) Movement](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051306/627965651d40b50b4507d921/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Originally called “OVOP Movement”
Mobilize people
OVOP as Public Policy:
To develop communities by promoting business
activities….
What is OVOP?
![Page 18: One Village One Product (OVOP) Movement](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051306/627965651d40b50b4507d921/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
It’s a positive approach
based on local advantages.Focuses on what you have, NOT what you don’t have.
Local resources (“treasures”)
Local resources could be:Agricultural, forestry, fishery resources
Mineral resources
Tourism resources (natural environment, landscape, cultural heritage, history, festivals, local food/drinks)
Human resources (technical skills, traditional skills, entrepreneurship, lifestyles)
18
![Page 19: One Village One Product (OVOP) Movement](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051306/627965651d40b50b4507d921/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
OVOP is often misunderstood
“One Village One Product”
Needs to be “Village”? – No, depends on
the country.– e.g., OTOP (Thailand), ODOP (Laos), OLOP (Nigeria)
Only “One” product? – No, at least one.
– The more, the better.
– Diversify against risk & cope with seasonality.
Only “Product”? – No, can be service.
– e.g., tourism
19
![Page 20: One Village One Product (OVOP) Movement](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051306/627965651d40b50b4507d921/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Three principles
Three principles of OVOP
Local yet global
Human resource
development
Self-reliance & creativity
Develop unique products &
services
utilizing local resources
• Aim at being only one in the
world
• Not necessary to export
Nurture those people who
could practice the other two.
“Prefecture helps those who
help themselves.”
= Promote Entrepreneurship
20
![Page 21: One Village One Product (OVOP) Movement](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051306/627965651d40b50b4507d921/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Principle1: Local yet global
Local resources as a driving force
Identify/develop unique “product” or service (= the only one in the world).
→ Competitive advantage
Aims at niche market (⇔ Mass production)
Start with one product. Better to have more.
To diversify & reduce risks
To cope with seasonality
21
![Page 22: One Village One Product (OVOP) Movement](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051306/627965651d40b50b4507d921/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Principle 2: Self-reliance & Creativity
Self-reliance: People’s own initiatives
It’s a business activity; benefits & risks for
them. (No one else.)
Others (incl. governments) should NOT
undermine their self-reliance.
In Oita case, direct subsidies were not provided to
local people under OVOP.
22
![Page 23: One Village One Product (OVOP) Movement](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051306/627965651d40b50b4507d921/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Add value to products through unique
ideas.
Must be what customers want to buy
“Outside people, young people & crazy
people”
23
Principle 2: (continued)
Self-reliance and Creativity
![Page 24: One Village One Product (OVOP) Movement](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051306/627965651d40b50b4507d921/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Principle 3: Human Resource
Development
Human resource development through
business.
Getting business mind makes local people
strong. (= entrepreneurship)
