The culture house in Tre village, Van Nghia commune, Lac Son

weaving is a traditional craft in the village. In addition to farming, local women
teach each other the craft and then do it. Since the establishment of the

products, but just follow the samples. Recently, the demand for handicraft
exports has risen, with increases in orders, so the work has become regular.

conditions for them to borrow capital.
