Do Dang Khoa - owner of the project “Loofah village” in My Tra ward, Dong Thap province - begins his start-up with the idea of being environmentally friendly and providing a steady source of income for local farmers by consuming their raw materials. By utilising local natural materials such as loofah, corn husks, chicken feathers, silkworm cocoons, among others, to create many lines of household products, he has made diverse products that are popular with many consumers in the domestic and export markets.
