Quy Chau is considered the "capital" of incense in Nghe An. There are 6 recognized incense villages here, including Block 1, Block 2, Block 3, Tan Huong Block 1, Tan Huong Block 2 in Tan Lac town and Hanh Tien village, Chau Hanh commune.

To create incense buds with a distinctive scent, many ingredients are needed such as agarwood root, sandalwood, cypress, cloves, cinnamon, star anise, etc. After being imported, the ingredients will be dried and put into a grinder to become incense powder. Photo: Xuan Hoang

Incense rolling paper is also prepared in large quantities and is always dried to ensure the incense does not get moldy. Photo: Xuan Hoang

Incense makers are mainly women because it requires dexterity and diligence. According to the owner of an incense production facility in Chau Hanh commune, because it is during the peak season, the unit has to hire more workers to meet the needs of customers. Although the incense making job is not too hard, it requires agility and diligence; wages are calculated based on the product, so the worker who makes a lot will have a good income. Photo: Quang An

According to the workers, this year’s incense making job has encountered difficulties in terms of labor because many of their children are working far away. In addition, during the flood at the end of September, many areas of incense roots were buried, forcing craft villages to import raw materials from other localities at higher prices. Photo: Quang An

Despite this, incense makers still strive to overcome difficulties to produce and supply the Tet market. After the stages, the incense is packaged and put into boxes to be imported to markets in and outside the province. Photo: Xuan Hoang

According to statistics of Quy Chau district, the annual output of agarwood is about 80-90 million incense sticks, with revenue reaching over 20 billion VND, creating stable jobs for 500-600 local workers, contributing to hunger eradication and poverty reduction for local people. Photo: Quang An
