According to the People's Committee of Bac Tra My district, at this time, the locality has more than 2,000 hectares of cinnamon (not including small-scale and intercropping areas). The average annual output is about 100 - 200 tons of cinnamon bark, however, by-products such as branches, twigs and leaves have not been fully utilized because cinnamon exploitation areas have difficult traffic, long transportation time and high costs.
