Rattan exports hit $225m in 2013

The exports of the rattan industry climbed to nearly $225 million last year, according to statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

The ministry said that Viet Nam's rattan products were exported to over 120 countries and territories.

The United States ranks as the top export destination, accounting for over 19 per cent of Viet Nam's rattan exports, while Japan is the second-largest market, with a 17 per cent share.

Nevertheless, Viet Nam's rattan industry exports account for less than 3 per cent of the global rattan market.
