Tridge summary

Thanh Trai village in Vietnam has a long tradition of bean and tuber cultivation, using rich sandy soil and a variety of crops including Vietnamese beans, beans, lentils, winter vegetables, and potatoes. The cultivation of these legumes brings significant additional income to the farmers, with high economic efficiency despite requiring labor-intensive efforts. However, the number of households engaged in this trade and the cultivation area have decreased in recent years due to various challenges.
