Artisans want to export handcraft made out of banana tree fibre
Using banana trees, raw material that is easily found in the Brazilian flora, artisans from the city of Miracatu, in Ribeira Valley – in the southeastern state of São Paulo -, produce artistic products. The group has been visited by the Japanese, English, and North American businessmen, and also sent samples to an international fair in France. The target is to increase production and conquer the foreign market.
