Of the 4 product sets recognized as typical national rural industrial products in 2025, 3 product sets belong to Phu Quoc special zone: Khai Hoan fish sauce product set with 30 degrees of nitrogen, 43 degrees of nitrogen of Khai Hoan Trading Joint Stock Company; Lien Hiep fish sauce product set of Lien Hiep Seafood Exploitation Limited Liability Company; Hai Nguyen fish sauce product set of Hai Nguyen private enterprise. The rest are woven products from sedge of Phu My Sedge Women's Cooperative, Giang Thanh commune.

At the traditional Phu Quoc Lien Hiep fish sauce display store, Ms. Tran My Duyen - a tourist from Can Tho City, tasted the fish sauce and praised: "This fish sauce is delicious, the aroma is strong but not harsh, the aftertaste is very typical, it is truly traditional Phu Quoc fish sauce". 2025 is the first year Lien Hiep fish sauce is recognized at the national level. Receiving this honor, Ms. Tran Kim Lien - Director of Lien Hiep Seafood Exploitation Company Limited shared: "Since being recognized as a typical rural industrial product at the national level, many tourists have sought to buy fish sauce. Many tourists see that the product is recognized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade , want to try it, they feel more secure when choosing to buy. This is a joy and also a motivation for me to continue to try and sustain my family's traditional profession".

Besides fish sauce, Phu My sedge hand-woven products also made an impression as the only handicraft product of An Giang recognized at the national level this year. In the border area of Giang Thanh commune, Director of Phu My Sedge Women's Cooperative Ly Hoang Bao is training members - mostly Khmer women - to weave new handbag models. Mr. Bao said: “In the first year, the cooperative's handbags, backpacks, bulging-belly baskets, and baskets were recognized as typical national rural industrial products. I was very happy. The product set met the criteria of community spirit, job creation for people, and competitiveness in the market. I took that as motivation to continue developing more sophisticated new products to participate in the voting for the following years. This opportunity helps us expand the market, and more people know about our hometown's handicraft products. Currently, the cooperative's products are sold abroad, but through cooperation with other units. I hope that the products will be exported through official channels."
