Handicrafts create jobs for many women in Tre village, Van Nghia commune, Lac Son district. 

The culture house in Tre village, Van Nghia commune, Lac Son district, is now a site for making bamboo and rattan products of the Muong Pheo Agricultural Trade and Service Cooperative. Every day, about 20 local women gather here to make handicraft products. 

Nguyen Thi Trang in Tre village said that bamboo and rattan 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 cooperative, they do not have to worry about finding raw materials and selling products, but just follow the samples. Recently, the demand for handicraft exports has risen, with increases in orders, so the work has become regular. For normal workers, in addition to housework, they can each earn 4-5 million VND (160-200 USD) a month. 

Bui Van Lieu, Chairman of the Van Nghia commune People's Committee, said that currently, the commune has more than 1,600 households with over 7,000 members whose livelihoods mainly depending on agriculture. Therefore, expanding the scale of the cooperative, creating jobs, and increasing income for women are priorities of the locality. The handicraft industry has generated jobs and helped raise income for many women in the commune. To encourage the development of cooperatives, local authorities have also created conditions for them to borrow capital. 

In Nhan Nghia commune, the provincial People's Committee in 2017 recognised the Bui traditional craft village, and provided funding to restore and develop the craft. In 2020, the Bui traditional rattan and bamboo craft village cooperative was established with 25 members. Since then, local women have had a more stable source of income, which helps improve their families’ living conditions.
