Vietnam Handicraft company have been producing many different products from natural rattan materials, such as: storage baskets, serving trays, mirror, picture frame…And now we are developing some tables and chairs, which use natural rattan to make it.
Rattan is a naturally renewable palm that has multiple uses, such as for furniture, baskets, canes, woven mats, cordage, and other handicrafts.
Despite increasing attempts in the last 30 years at commercial cultivation, almost all rattan products still come from wild-harvested plants. So, we need to improve in order to secure the supply in the long term. And now, we are working with government and communities to implement a viable and sustainable forest management model. This means that villages can earn income from the harvesting, splitting and weaving of rattan for sale on international markets.
We are developing both new products from rattan materials to supply for world wide buyers. It will help both our workers and the rattan materials suppliers have better income.
