In the early days, only a few dozen households practiced\r\nthe trade, but today it has grown significantly.\r\nInitially, people used wild ferns growing along ditches, canals, and the C\u1eeda Ti\u1ec3u River. Sometimes they had to paddle boats all the way\r\nto the coastal area of T\u00e2n Th\u00e0nh to collect the materials, dry them, and bind them with nipa palm fiber strings\r\n(nipa palm fiber is made from the lower trunk of the nipa palm, split and sun-dried) to make household brooms.\r\nBecause ferns grow naturally in the wild, the raw materials gradually became scarce. Moreover, brooms made from this material were rather\r\ncoarse in shape, so people began replacing them with areca palm sheaths.\r\nIn the past, areca palm trees were fully utilized: besides using the sheaths to make brooms, old trunks were used to build houses and shelters.\r\nAreca nuts were used for betel chewing and were indispensable at weddings and engagement ceremonies. Unused fresh areca nuts were dried for storage,\r\nand dried areca nuts were also used in dyeing industries at that time.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDue to wartime devastation, V\u0129nh H\u1ef1u became a heavily bombarded area, leaving areca palm gardens destroyed and raw materials depleted.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nUnable to abandon their traditional craft, many people gradually switched to making brooms from coconut sticks.\r\nThe coconut-stick broom-making trade became popular after the early 1970s.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
