Sugar palm trees a familiar sight in An Giang
A Khmer man identified as Chau Soc Bane in Tri Ton District sits on top of a sugar palm tree to collect its fruit
The initial purpose of Khmer ethnic people in the area to grow the plant is to prevent erosion but over time, sugar palm has become a major source of income for locals because they can turn its sweet juice into sugar, get its fruit for household use or sale, and make handicrafts from its leaves.
Visitors to Tinh Bien and Tri Ton can easily see sugar palm trees everywhere and buy palm products at stalls and bistros in the places they drop by.
