Mr. Nguyen Dinh Hoa – hamlet chief said: On average, every day, households consume 5-6 quintals of raw rice for the production of rice cakes, thus contributing to the consumption of agricultural products in the area.

Children and the elderly still contribute labor to making rice cakes. Photo: Tran Canh Yen. The process of rolling the cake and collecting the rice cakes was hard and very urgent. If it is sunny, the drying cake starts to reach the point where it will pull out on the drying pad, then immediately collect it from the torn crackers; When it rains, people hang the cake “put their feet on the neck” and collect the cake from the wet.
