| Mr. Dinh Van Phu, 61 years old (Hamlet 2, Hung Hoa Commune, Vinh City) and his wife are harvesting sedge in the field and said: For many years, his family has relied on sedge fields and a few rice fields; but they are afraid that the sedge profession will gradually disappear. Now, sedge is harvested, dried, and sold to traders. It is no longer woven directly because hand weaving is very low in economic efficiency. Photo: Trung Ha |
