Lao PDR - Ethnic minorities - A Hmong woman wearing her traditional clothing holding freshly harvested hemp

A Hmong woman wearing her traditional clothing holds a bunch of freshly harvest hemp stalks, Ban Long Kuang, Houaphan, Lao PDR. Making hemp fabric is a long and laborious process; the end result is a strong durable cloth with qualities similar to linen which the Hmong women use to make their traditional clothing. In Lao PDR, hemp is now only cultivated in remote mountainous areas of the north.
