Ha Tinh craft villages "race" for year-end orders

Tung Loc commune currently has dozens of households engaged in traditional incense production. Since the beginning of November, the number of orders at establishments has increased by 30-40%. To meet market demand, establishments have proactively increased working hours, invested in equipment and machinery, ensuring a quality supply to consumers.

“Every year, 2-3 months before Tet is the peak production time because of the high demand for orders. Each product has to go through many stages, meticulously and meticulously. Although it is hard work, the quality products reach the hands of users, are well received by the market, we have more income so we are very excited. Currently, the volume of goods produced is accelerated, increasing by 30-40% compared to normal days, and is expected to continue to increase in the months near Tet” - Mr. Le Van Long (Tan Mieu Residential Group, Bac Hong Linh Ward) said.
