Vi Thuy betel village is located in Vi Thuy commune (Vi Thuy district, Hau Giang province). Betel was planted more than 50 years ago. Before, it was mainly used for the betel chewing custom of many elderly people or for engagement and wedding ceremonies. Later, betel leaves were exported to Taiwan (China), Cambodia... so the betel growing profession in Vi Thuy began to develop strongly.

Currently, the whole district of Vi Thuy has nearly 40 hectares of betel growing - considered the largest betel "barn" in the Mekong Delta. Favored by nature, Vi Thuy betel is always lush, the betel leaves are large, yellow, and the spicy flavor is loved by many people.

The Golden Betel Cooperative has also been established here with 24 members cultivating 16 hectares of betel. On average, the cooperative supplies about 5,000 - 6,000 betel leaves to the market each month, with betel prices ranging from 8,000 - 12,000 VND/kg.

In recent times, betel vines have helped many households escape poverty and become well-off. Many households have food and savings, build spacious houses, and send their children to school.
Vi Thuy betel village was recognized as a traditional craft village by Hau Giang Provincial People's Committee in 2019. The locality is also on the path to developing the betel village into a unique community tourism destination.
