In particular , among  these groups, revolving capital- broom production group of Van Kieu ethnic women in Truong Xuan commune have just founded more than 3 months ( from February, 2012), but it’s one of the best groups. Their production are brooms which made from tiger grass.

The group is supported initial capital, 10 million VND by RDPR. Within 3 months, the group has bought 550 kilograms of tiger grass and made 906 brooms. The rest of tiger grass in stock is 100 kilograms. Unless the cost of production , the profit  is 5.5 million, the average income is 500,000 VND per member.
 
The group often organizes regular meetings, the members can share their experience in broom production, exchange informartion about prices and supplies, plan production and trade, resolve difficulties of members and the whole group.
 
Currently, some other women in these villages also are expected to take part in the group. Thanks to good quality of brooms, the trade of this group is easy and favorable, and the group have received many orders from dealers. Mrs Vo Thi Che, the group leader said that at the moment many members are happy with achieved results, so they are eager to plan for buying more tiger grass and  expanding their production scale in coming rainy months.
 
Income from broom production is not much because of small production scale, but this group have created  jobs for women in their freetime, and contribute into their family income, especially for Van Kieu ethnic women in moutainous communes.
