For a long time, sedge products of Tan Tho Handicraft Cooperative (Nong Cong) have become famous.

After achieving the 4-star OCOP product certification, recently, the sedge wall hanging products of this cooperative were announced by Thanh Hoa province as one of the 10 typical sedge products at the provincial level in 2023 and were sent to vote for typical sedge products at the regional level.
According to the director of Tan Tho Handicraft Cooperative, Nguyen Thi Tham, the products are made entirely from locally available sedge materials, thus contributing to the active consumption of raw materials and creating jobs for local workers.

Young director Nguyen Huu Minh shared: "We currently have 10 essential oil production workshops, ensuring the consumption of raw materials from lemongrass leaves for the communes of Thach Son, Thanh Minh, Thanh Vinh. Workers in essential oil production cooperatives have an income of up to 150 - 200 million VND/person/year from the "waste" of lemongrass leaves that have been discarded for many years".
