The cooperative's product lines were well received by consumers,” said Mr. Phong.

Enhancing traditional craft products
With the desire to continue to maintain and develop the traditional profession left by their ancestors, at the end of 2021, the couple Ms. Pham Thi Thuy Van and Mr. Duong Van Dung (Duc Loi commune) boldly started a business with the fish sauce brand "Ong Ba Ot".
Ong Ba Ot fish sauce products are made using the traditional manual fermentation method, which means fermenting fish and salt in wooden barrels for 15 months or more. After a completely natural fermentation period, the first drops of fish sauce are born with a reddish-brown or straw-yellow color, with a very unique mild aroma.
Ong Ba Ot fish sauce production facility makes the most of fresh natural ingredients and available local labor, creating stable jobs, increasing income for rural people, and is the basis for preserving and developing Duc Loi fish sauce craft village.
“To promote and affirm the value of products from Duc Loi fish sauce village, I decided to register to participate in the local OCOP product program. With my tireless efforts, the product has now achieved 3-star OCOP and I believe that it will be increasingly chosen by consumers in and outside the province,” said Ms. Van.
