After many years of wandering in a foreign land, Mr. Dang Danh Quoc (born in 1990) and his brother Dang Danh Han (born in 1987, in Quang Loc commune, Can Loc, Ha Tinh) returned to their hometown to build an incense production facility with a revenue of 1.2 billion VND/year.
In the recent OCOP product recognition assessment round 1 in 2024 of Can Loc district, the incense product produced by Quoc Thach Production and Trading Joint Stock Company in Quang Loc commune was highly appreciated by the council and recognized as meeting the 3-star OCOP standard at the provincial level. Many people were quite surprised to know that the owners of the company producing this product are two brothers, quite young. They are Mr. Dang Danh Han (born in 1987) and Mr. Dang Danh Quoc (born in 1990), both born and raised in Tra Duong village (Quang Loc commune).

Mr. Dang Danh Han - Deputy Director of Quoc Thach Production and Trading Joint Stock Company said: "My brothers and I were born into a farming family in a poor countryside. Since childhood, our parents taught us to strive to improve ourselves. Therefore, after finishing high school, each of us sought a way to start a career. I applied to work as a worker at a company in Huong Khe, and my younger brother went to work abroad in Taiwan (China). However, both of us always had the desire to start a business in our homeland. At the end of 2022, after a period of time abroad, my younger brother called to ask about the situation and invited me to return home to start a business. After a period of research, we decided to open a production facility and establish a company."

Talking about the reason for choosing to produce incense products, Mr. Dang Danh Quoc said: "During my time in Taiwan, although my job was mechanical, I loved and learned about the incense production profession there. Learning about the source of raw materials, I also knew that the main material for producing incense is agarwood, this is a favorable condition because in Phuc Trach (Huong Khe) and Thuong Loc (Can Loc), the source of agarwood is very abundant. After learning how to make it, I tried to connect with some owners of production facilities in Taiwan, suggesting that I would return to my hometown to open a factory and supply them with goods, and they agreed to be willing to import goods if the quality was good. Returning to my hometown, with the support of my brother, I was determined to start a business."

It is known that to carry out production, Mr. Dang Danh Han and Mr. Dang Danh Quoc invested 2.2 billion VND to build a 500 m2 factory, installing machinery and equipment such as: grinders, raw material mixers, flavor production machines... At the same time, the two brothers also recruited local workers to work. In early 2023, Quoc Thach Production and Trading Joint Stock Company officially went into operation.
After 1 year, the company has exported 60 tons of finished incense products to the market with 2 main types: incense sticks and incense coils. With the support of Taiwanese partners, the company has exported 80% of its output to this market. Total revenue in 2023 brought the company 1.2 billion VND, after deducting expenses, the profit reached about 700 million VND.

Recently, through the set of criteria for evaluating OCOP products according to Decision 148/QD-TTg dated February 24, 2023 of the Prime Minister, Can Loc district recognized Quoc Thach incense products as meeting 3-star OCOP standards.

It is known that the company is creating jobs for 10 regular workers and 5 seasonal workers, with an average income of 5 - 7 million VND/person/month. Mr. Dang Danh Han - Deputy Director of Quoc Thach Production and Trading Joint Stock Company said: "Being recognized as a 3-star OCOP product is a driving force for us to expand production and improve product quality in the coming time. In addition to preparing 50 tons of raw materials for production in the first half of 2024, we are completing procedures to request local authorities to grant land use rights to open more factories and invest in machinery".
