Many old farmers in Bac Binh district (Binh Thuan) said that this land is famous for its "excessive sunshine and lack of rain" and large land area, so it is suitable for raising cows and developing livestock.

Mr. Ba Huu Nhi said that his family has been involved in agricultural production, processing sun-dried beef for about 20 years in Phan Hoa commune. In addition to processing sun-dried beef, Mr. Nhi and his wife also grow coconuts to sell fruit, open a coffee shop to sell to people around...
According to Mr. Ba Huu Nhi, to have a delicious sun-dried beef dish, different from many other regions, he always chooses the thigh and tenderloin of young cows. Fresh beef is ordered by Mr. Ba Huu Nhi's family in advance from local slaughterhouses to be used as raw materials for processing.
Thanks to the combination of spices such as garlic, chili, pepper, fish sauce, salt and some special forest leaf flavors of this region, along with the family's own secret recipe, the beef has a special flavor. After marinating the beef, Mr. Ba Huu Nhi used a knife to cut the beef into thick slices, dried it in the sun from morning to afternoon to get the finished product... Therefore, after processing, the beef grilled over hot coals is fragrant, delicious and irresistible...
