In the Mekong Delta, Long Dinh village in Tien Giang province is famous for
its traditional craft of weaving sedge mats. The mats' high quality makes them popular
domestically, and they are also exported to markets worldwide. In spite of Its well-
established reputation for this traditional craft, mat weaving only started here some 50
years ago. It was first introduced by immigrants from Kim Son, a famous
mat-weaving village in Ninh Binh province. However, the technique of weaving sedge
mats in Long Dinh, as compared with other places, is somewhat different. Long Dinh
branded mats are thicker and have more attractive colours and patterns.
Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice. Long Dinh mat production
mainly occurs during the dry season, from January to April. Weavers have to work the
hardest in May and June; otherwise, when the rainy season starts in July, they will
have to put off finishing their products till the next dry season. No matter how much
work it requires, Long Dinh mat producers stick with this occupation, as it brings a
higher income than growing rice.
This trade provides employment for thousands of local labourers. At present,
nearly 1,000 households in Long Dinh village live on weaving mats. To better meet
market demands, Long Dinh mat weavers have created many kinds of products
besides the traditional sedge mats.
