Coming to the "capital" of "white gold"

In recent years, the movement building swiftlet houses flourished in the east of Tien Giang province. Swiftlet nest is also considered as "white gold" because of high economic benefits.

According to statistics of Tien Giang Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, there are more than 450 establishments raised swiftlet in the province, mainly in the area of Go Cong town, Go Cong Tay district, Tan Phu Dong district, etc...

Each swiflet house is invested at least 1,5 billion VND but usually over 2 billion VND per one house. Each Go Cong bird nest kilogram is not under 15 million VDN per kilogram and the highest price is over 30 million VND per kilogram. It depends on size, quality and preliminary processing or not.
