Kraftangan Malaysia, Sabah Branch is committed to
transform the industry into mainstream through
various means like innovations, involving young
people and giving modern interpretations to traditional crafts
of the country. The One District One Industry (SDSI) initiative
is still an important factor in pushing for a wide variety of
products with increasing specialisation and professionalism in
many different parts of the country. Anywhere craft products
are made, they provide employment opportunities for local
people involved in the trade like material gatherers, craftsmen
and women as well as traders and are important contributions
to many rural households. Young people are encouraged
to participate in the craft trade and schemes like incubator
programs provide them the opportunity to pick up a skill
and become entrepreneurs too. With more countries getting
into the crafts trade, there are now greater competitions
in the market which also means higher quality products at
competitive prices which is healthy for the industry. Hence
producers must be able to produce modern and contemporary
craft products which have universal appeal. Towards this
objective, Kraftangan Malaysia, Sabah Branch continues to be
an innovative and competitive leader in the industry and sets
its goal to meet the international market demand in quality
and aesthetics of traditional products.
