Among them, the product that many tourists buy is wild sunflower honey produced by business household Le Van Duc (born in 1996, village 4, Nghia Hung commune, Chu Pah district).

After trying the wild sunflower honey product, Ms. Le Thi Thao (Tan Son commune, Pleiku city) chose to buy honey as a gift for her relatives. Ms. Thao said: “The taste of wild sunflower honey is sweet and fragrant, very different from other types of honey such as coffee flowers, rubber flowers...

Therefore, this is a meaningful gift that I bought as a gift and enjoyed to protect the health of myself and my family.”

The product "Mother Dung's jar wine" is sold at the booth featuring agricultural products of Ha Tay commune.

The product “Mother Dung’s jar wine” is also sold at the agricultural products booth of Ha Tay commune, which attracts many visitors. Every day, Mother Dung’s jar wine is made by artisan Yet (Kon Po Nang village, Ha Tay commune).

Mr. Nguyen Phu Quy, a tourist from Hanoi, expressed: “I work in Gia Lai, and I came to visit the Week on this occasion. Due to work requirements, I often research the types of wine in the Central Highlands. I have known that Dung's mother's wine, made by artisan Yet, has been famous for a long time, but I have only now had the chance to enjoy it. It is true that the flavor of the forest yeast has a distinct difference, making the drinker feel elated, but the more you drink, the better it tastes, without any headaches. I am taking information to order about 100 jars each time to sell to domestic and foreign customers.”
