Wildlife Fund (WWF) organized at Himawari Hotel a workshop to share and
showcase the achievements on 25 June, best practices and lessons learnt from 3
years of promoting sustainable rattan production in Cambodian.
Rattan
experts, members of the rattan business and industry attended the one-day
workshop on Strengthening Sustainable Rattan Market and Industry in Cambodia
and the Mekong Region. Working in partnership with the Rattan Association of
Cambodia (RAC), the Forestry Administration, the Ministry of Environment and
the Ministry of Commerce, as well as local authorities, the Rattan Project,
which started in 2006, is aimed to expand the existing supply and production
chain of sustainable rattan, with the goal of supply 1,000 tons of
sustainably-managed raw materials for productions by 2014.
Income
made from rattan is contributing to the community’s sustainable forest
management. The WWW project covers three markets in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam
and is funded by IKEA and Germany’s Entrepreneurial Development Cooperation
(DEG).
