Traditionally, rural villages in Vietnam produced handicrafts when they were not busy with planting or
harvesting crops. Over time, many villages developed the expertise to make specialised products and so
particular villages became famous for such things as weaving, woodwork, lacquer work and metal products.
With industrialization, many villagers moved to the cities but maintained their craft skills and networks to
produce products for the city market, for example craft villages make furniture, grow flowers or make utensils
for the urban population. Other villages changed from making traditional crafts to producing different products
desired by an industrialized society. For example, the villagers of Trieu Khuc changed from traditional paper
making to recycling plastic. There are now many craft villages in Vietnam based on recycling plastic, paper or
metal.
