contents This is the first paper of a three-part series in which we develop a theory of conformal blocks for $C_2$-cofinite vertex operator algebras (VOAs) that are not necessarily rational. The ultimate goal of this series is to prove a sewing-factorization theorem (and in particular, a factorization formula) for conformal blocks over holomorphic families of compact Riemann surfaces, associated to grading-restricted (generalized) modules of $C_2$-cofinite VOAs. In this paper, we prove that if $\mathbb V$ is a $C_2$-cofinite VOA, if $\mathfrak X$ is a compact Riemann surface with $N$ incoming marked points and $M$ outgoing ones, each equipped with a local coordinate, and if $\mathbb W$ is a grading-restricted $\mathbb V^{\otimes N}$-modules, then the ``dual fusion product" exists as a grading-restricted $\mathbb V^{\otimes M}$-module. Indeed, we prove a more general version of this result without assuming $\mathbb V$ to be $C_2$-cofinite. Our main method is a generalization of the propagation of conformal blocks.
