How This Village Makes 50,000 Incense Sticks A Day For Lunar New Year | Big Business

In preparation for the Tet holiday, Quang Phu Cau Village turns a sea of pink. Villagers are making millions of incense sticks, used in spiritual worship. At one point, 100% of this village made incense sticks, but as demand fluctuated and younger generations found other jobs, many factories shut down. Today, there are only about three manufacturers of incense left in the village. Nguyễn Thi is one of them. To stay afloat, Thi mechanized much of the process and got his brand, Thủy Xuân Tiên, officially registered. We get an inside look inside his incense stick factory leading up to the Vietnamese Lunar New Year.

I think these products use to come to us via Lybia but now with the war happing there it's been years since the last time I saw it been sold anywhere in my country. just seeing the pink ones made me smile it brought back memories of my childhood. I wish them good luck with their business and I pray to God that peace can find its way to those who need it.

[@nouhasmiri6303]

@@lucaslindseyJESUSBOY Hi! No I'm a Muslim. Islam taught us that Jesus was one of the five greatest messengers of God along side Noah, Abraham, Moses and Mohammed pace be upon all of them. We believe in his miraculous birth and that he was created without a father just like Adam. We have a whole chapter in the Quran named after the virgin Mary. she is an example for all Muslim women to follow when it comes to her modesty, patience and purity to name a few. and we do believe that Jesus peace be upon him did not die on the cross but he was ascended to the heavens until his time to return on Earth. Jesus never ONCE asked his followers to worship him but to only worship the one true God. but with time, his message was altered and corrupted that's why God sent a final message with the prophet Mohammed peace upon him, God said in the Quran that he will preserve these last revelations from any corruption until the last day of our existence. So my dear friend, I invite you to forget all prejudgment you might have about Islam and read about it and to open your mind and heart to the true and final message from God. the message that Jesus peace be upon him spent his life spreading: there's is only ONE true God.

I had to delve into why India stopped importing incense sticks.

The government wanted to boost self sufficient economy and put a requirement that any incense stick outside of India would require their license (which they would most likely decline).

Vietnam goods are good in quality , and have great demand in indian markets , according to this video stick demands are decreased in india , but at the same time we are buying more crafts of Vietnam.... India is impose very low taxes to Vietnamese product ....also india provides new technology ,also we are moving towards defence deals .....and many more things , India is major contributor of Vietnam tourism sector , many Indians go to Vietnam for travel and worship old temple .

I'd like to have some of these incense sticks :) I don't use them a lot, but sometimes I really need to feel them. They must be lovely. I wonder if I could get them in a Vietnamese shop here in Warsaw - we've got quite a large and old Vietnamese immigrant community here.

[@swanubal508]

go to Indian stores.. Indians use incense sticks everyday so they definitely must have them...

[@krishnasingha1134]

That pink bush of sticks will look good as home decor.

[@MrWaheedulHaque]

Please send me a packet in the UK they so fabulous, we burn these during ramadan in my household would be nice to try some vietnamese ones out see what they smell like, the pink ones look amazing

[@physics77guy]

i am surprised with such a great incense industry in India, they were importing from vietnam....lol

[@Simqer]

it's 90% of the imported incense, not 90% of all incense in India. There's a lot of incense being used in India.

[@physics77guy]

@@Simqer 300 tons of incense imported... visualize that

[@stefthorman8548]

@@physics77guy 300 tons, where did you get 90 from?

[@Simqer]

@@physics77guy 300 tons is about 15-20 trucks. It's visualized. It's nowhere near enough for 1.4 billion people. That's only enough for them to buy 1-2 boxes a year.

Thanks for current govt 🙌, previous govt was stupid as f***, they were so stupid that it's embarassing

So you said in your story that India limited the import of sticks but you should have included a short explanation of why they reduced or stopped the sale

Yeah!! ‌Due to the fall in the stock market, I don't think it's advisable holding, it would be more beneficial and yield more profit if you actually trade on cryptocurrency I've been trading since the dip, and I've made so much profit trading.

[@cainguyen2974]

@Viv Johnson I don't trade, I invest with a professional called Felix Hartmann by a crypto company that trades for us and returns profits on weekly basis for me and you can invest your capital and get weekly Returns of investment (ROI) without any extra fees attached

Incense has an alluring quality to it. I will say some scent choices are a bit much for me but if it’s light enough I really love the smell it has and it relaxes me.

[@jewel7906]

According to officials of Tripura Industrial Development Corporation (TIDC), the state's production of bamboo sticks for the country's incense industry fell from 29,000 MT in 2010 to 1,241 MT in 2017 as Vietnam (49 per cent) and China (47 per cent) supplied 96 per cent of India's total requirement of 70,000 MT round bamboo sticks per year. Videos like these will only show one side of the story because they are made for subtle propaganda. First they mention india restricted then later they say partially restricted. Then it says they only sell 80 tons now but only at the end of the video they mention that they make 40% more profits now.

[@ravinderdasila9334]

Listen properly.. at 6:32.. it said he earns 40% more at new yr time compared to rest of the year.. everything is not propaganda!

Are you sure those are trees and bark? That sure looks like Bamboo.

[@stormelemental13]

@Nguyen Ngoc Binh Minh Thank you.

[@Ass_of_Amalek]

in case you're confused like I was watching this, since that stick core stuff totally looks like bamboo but the video claims that it's "bark" of "vau and nua trees" - it is bamboo, vau and nua are especially flammable large varieties of bamboo. it's not bark, and no bamboo is a tree (they're giant grasses).

[@Hoggaforfan]

Thx, was very confused about that part

[@semerahpadi4484]

So pretty. Vietnam government must keep this industry alive for tradition purpose.

Smoke is the divine connection to the spirit world. Archangels love when you offer them incense.

Agreed absolutely 100% our Celestial Heavenly Court loves to be surrounded in incense ! But some are horrific. Those funky reading names don't smell as they do when dry - burning wood smells better. You have to read where they're made.

Spirits just love to see trees cut down and dipped into dye and charcoal paste. But it's the CO2 and soot particles rising in the atmosphere they really fancy.
