Rattan handicraft producers eye on EU market

Lao rattan product is on display in Germany

For Laos and other neighbours Cambodia and Vietnam, the event was their first time to introduce their handicrafts to the world market.

At the exhibition, around 2,500 companies worldwide presented their environment-friendly products to over 45,000 visitors.

"We are very happy to attend the world exhibition to advertise and gain an access for Lao handicrafts to the European market and we get experience and learn new design and standards for handicrafts of foreign companies," said Mr. Saikham Phetmanivong, owner of the Danlao Company.

Previously, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has encouraged Lao people to produce products with raw materials from the nature in sustainable manners and help local handicraft producers gain an access to the world market.
