The sum will be channeled into vocational training, infrastructure building and
the formation of cooperatives, while supporting production, environmental
treatment and related tourism development.
Ninh Thuan also plans to design technical demos, a website for craft villages,
and assist craft facilities in attending exhibitions and trade fairs.
To date, the province has three recognized traditional craft villages – Bau Truc
for pottery, and My Nghiep and Chung My for brocade weaving – in addition to
dozens of others working in seafood processing, as well as producing fish sauce,
woodwork products, and grape wine, among others. They have so far created
thousands of jobs and contributed to the preservation of the culture of the
ethnic communities in the locality.
However, many of them have been struggling to survive due to capital and human
resources shortage, as well as poor competitiveness.
Amid such context, some are seeking their ways to boost production quality and
spur demand from the market.
According to Ham Minh Thieu, head of the Cham My Nghiep brocade services and
production cooperative, Cham ethnic people are working to improve their brocade
product designs and diversity to meet consumers’ demand but still conserve their
cultural identity.
The Bau Truc pottery village has followed suit by developing a modern line of
pottery products serving the domestic market and export.
By 2020, Ninh Thuan aims to have four to five more accredited craft villages,
including aquatic processing one in My Tan and a fish sauce village in Ca Na
commune.-VNA
