Years ago, water hyacinth was considered a harmful plant to waterway traffic in the Mekong Delta region because it grew too quickly, clogging canals and hindering boat traffic. Clearing the water hyacinth consumed considerable budget and effort from local authorities.<\/p>\n
With creativity and skillful hands, the artisans of the craft village discovered the incredible resilience of water hyacinth stems after drying. From these long, glossy, sun-kissed fibers, they began weaving and shaping the first rustic storage baskets. Khang Viet Tien has inherited the essence of the craft village, investing in standardizing the mechanical production process and combining it with powder-coated iron frames to create durable products that meet modern needs.<\/p>\n
Today, containers filled with woven water hyacinth trays and sedge baskets from Khang Viet Tien regularly leave Cat Lai port for export to major markets such as Germany, France, the UK, and the US. The products are proudly displayed in high-end furniture showrooms and lifestyle retail chains. The journey from riverside weeds to international-standard high-end decor products is a source of immense pride for the Khang Viet Tien team, affirming the cultural values and ingenuity of the Vietnamese people.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
