Mr. Thai Dai Phong, Director of Duc Phong Company Limited, said: Currently, people in craft villages in the province have made many excellent products, but due to a serious labor shortage, the Company does not dare to accept many orders. Bamboo and rattan craft villages are declining due to the labor going to industrial parks, working far away, and the labor in rural villages is decreasing. Photo: Tran Chau |

With proactive raw material sources in Quy Chau and Que Phong, Duc Phong Company Limited is creating jobs for hundreds of households growing forests in mountainous areas and hundreds of households with sustainable income from bamboo and rattan weaving in the province with an income of 6-10 million VND/person/month. Previously, there were thousands of households doing this job, but now the number of workers and craft villages can be counted on the fingers of one hand. It is very difficult to find workers who are loyal to this job that requires carefulness and meticulousness. Photo: Tran Chau |

Director of Duc Phong Company Limited said: Lantern designs change frequently, income is not high, so it is difficult to recruit and retain workers. A lantern costs only about 10 dollars but the cost accounts for 80%, especially the cost of packaging and transportation to customers to ensure safety and integrity. Photo: Tran Chau |
