Mrs. Vi Thi Oanh, the Director of Chieng Chau cooperative of
weaving brocade and tourist service says: In 2009, the cooperative was
established with 33 members. With the interest of all levels, appropriate
authorities and the provincial Union of Cooperatives, the members of the
cooperative have been attending the training courses on the transfer of the
technology of making new products and the natural dyeing techniques, marketing
activities, especially participating in trade exhibitions and trade fairs organized
in the province and in other provinces and cities throughout the country.
Thereby, it has been creating conditions for us to capture the market and build
a logo for the product.
At the same time, the cooperative has traded, signed the
contracts of goods supply, found a stable market for consuming products and
directly calculated the plans to invest and buy materials so that the women can
make the weaving brocade products. The Board of Directors has always been
looking for and creating many beautiful designs, which are consistent with the
consumers’ tastes. The outstanding products are woven scarves, tablecloths,
handbags of all kinds, shoes and slippers, diary covers, stuffed animals,
