Abstract

This study seeks to identify the factors that drive participation in production linkages of OCOP (One Commune One Product) in Tuyen Quang province, within the specific context of a mountainous region of Vietnam. Drawing upon the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework [7, 22] and the theory of collective action [17], the authors conducted a survey of 163 OCOP entities, including cooperatives, cooperative groups, enterprises, and household businesses. Analyses using Cronbach’s Alpha, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and multiple regression indicate that five groups of factors simultaneously and positively affect the decision to participate in production linkages: (i) vulnerability context, (ii) livelihood assets, (iii) institutions and policies, (iv) collective action dynamics and mechanisms, and (v) expected outcomes. Among these, livelihood assets exert the strongest effect (β = 0.535), followed by expected outcomes (β = 0.239), underscoring the decisive role of internal capacities and economic incentives. The study not only contributes empirical evidence to the application of the sustainable livelihoods framework in the OCOP context but also provides important policy implications for strengthening linkages, enhancing product value, and promoting sustainable rural economic development.
