Cần Đước

Cần Đước is a rural district in Long An Province, located in the Mekong Delta region with extensive agricultural lands and waterways. The terrain sits just above sea level, making it ideal for rice cultivation and water-based farming.

This area began as a peninsula village formed by two waterways before becoming an official district in 1867. That transition reflected growing administrative needs as the region developed.

The district's communities maintain traditional farming practices that shape daily life and local identity across the region. Agricultural work forms the backbone of how people spend their time and interact with one another.

The district is administered from its main town, also called Cần Đước, which functions as the regional hub. Visiting during the dry season makes it easier to explore the waterways and farmland without dealing with water levels.

Local farmers grow Nàng Thơm Chợ Đào Rice, a regional variety that thrives in the Mekong Delta's fertile soil. This rice variety stands out for its taste and quality, making it a source of pride for the farming community.
