Abstract :
[en] The study was conducted in two famous traditional rice noodle production handicraft villages
in Bac Giang province: Dinh Ke commune (Ke rice noodle production) and Thu Duong com-
mune (Chu rice noodle production). The survey was carried out with 196 households, of which
118 involved directly in the value chain including rice traders, 30 noodle consumer households,
and 46 are income control households. ln addition, the study gathered information and data
through group discussions and consultation with local authorities who were involved in rice
noodle production in the villages. The results indicated that the value chain of noodle created
a high added value (approximately 19 million VND per ton of products) and among value chain
actors, rice noodle processors gained more profit that encouraged these actors to increase
investment into production and selling of noodle products. The recommendations include
improving product quality, reducing environmental pollution, dealing with issues such as gen-
der inequality in terms of income, and strengthening information sharing among actors of the
value chain.
