Vietnam is the world's second biggest coffee producer. It mostly grows Robusta beans that get turned into instant coffee. Here in the mountains of Dalat the minority group K'Ho do things a bit differently. They grow organic Arabica beans, roast them and sell them directly to cafés in Vietnam, Germany and Japan. This way they can generate a higher income for their community. . . . #Vietnam #coffee #dalat #farming #Indigenous #journalism #documentary #deutschewelle

Hundreds of boats full of fruit and vegetables, flowers, and handicraft products gather every day in the small hours of the morning to trade goods on the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. The markets on the rivers are a way of life for many local people. Traders have creatively innovated their boats to sustain family life on the water while doing business; many have linked their lives with their houseboats for generations. The floating markets are part of local culture and identity. Yet, they are profoundly changing. Since the 1990s, the government has invested in new bridges and roads and many farmers and businesses move their goods by trucks now, which is faster and more convenient. So far, the floating markets are still bustling - in large parts due to tourists. The floating markets are a major tourism attraction, providing new opportunities and income for local vendors. . . . #vietnam #talesfromvietnam #mekongdelta #floatingmarkets #cantho #journalism #streetphotography #documentaryphotography #tourism

The Vietnamese town of Hoi An is famous for arts and crafts. This young men works in a shop that employs people with and without disabilities to create jewelry, pottery and fabrics. People with disabilities in Vietnam - like in the rest of the world - often struggle to find work. In urban areas, they are three times more likely to be unemployed than persons without disabilities. . . #Vietnam #talesfromvietnam #streetphotography #documentaryphotography #hoian #nofilter #handicraft #art #journalism #disabilities
