Nobody know when the village�s bamboo weaving occupation begins but it has been helped Do Xuyen people survive for many flooding seasons and become an important supplementary job for villagers. The village�s products are very simple. The production don�t need much investment but artistic hands. The low-profit production is presented heart of villagers in the market mechanism. The main product of Do Xuyen village is bamboo fiberboard for construction with many designs.

Besides, another typical product is Mam Chap which have been existing despite the market mechanism.
