After getting married, in addition to farming, she did weaving at home and sold her products to private traders. This craft helps her earn an additional 2 million VND (nearly 79 USD) per month. However, her products did not have a brand name, so their value is not high. joining the cooperative, Chanh learned many more skills from others, and her products have a brand name and are known by more and more customers.
Vi Thi Oanh, Deputy Director of the Chieng Chau brocade weaving cooperative, said it has 21 official members and 40 unofficial members who participate in production when there are orders. This craft is suitable for women in mountainous areas during the agricultural off-season.

Despite being newly established, the cooperative has 17 members and 8 affiliated households, Thuan said, noting that it has continued to diversify products to meet customers’ demand and increase incomes for its members.
For many years, the Luong Phu Agricultural Services Cooperative in Phong Phu commune of Tan Lac district has still persevered with handicrafts. It has also received numerous orders from abroad, ensuring regular jobs for its members.
