This study was conducted to propose proper indicators and to assess the sustainability of traditional vermicelli production in Minh Hong village. Sustainability of traditional vermicelli production in Minh Hong village was assessed based on 40 indicators belonging to 5 dimensions (production, product management and consumption, economy, society, and environment). All indicators were quantified on a scale of 0-1, in which 0 presenting low sustainability and 1 indicating high sustainability. The results showed high sustainability of economic dimension ranging from 0.87 to 1.00, implying economic efficiency of vermicelli production. However, social and environmental dimensions demonstrated medium sustainability. Some factors affecting on the sustainability of vermicelli production were the unsustainable connection between production and market, stability of input materials, consumption markets, limited training and labor safety, capital for production and business, and management of local authority.
