The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) launched a US$3.1-million programme in Hanoi last week to sustainably manage rattan production in ‘Indochina’.
The project will cover 100 villages in three ‘Indochinese’ countries by 2010, following the successful implementation of a pilot programme in six villages in Laos and Cambodia from 2006 to 2009.
“The project aims to limit the negative impacts of rattan production on humans and the environment by getting stakeholders in these three countries to work together transparently,” said a representative of the European Commission’s delegation in Hanoi.
The project will receive financial support from the international retailer of home-products IKEA and the German development finance institution (DEG).
The global rattan market is worth around US$4 billion with more than 50 species of rattan grown in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Vietnam exports almost 60 percent of all its finished rattan products to the European Union.
