7.5.5 The nature <strong>of</strong> the trade<br />

7.5.5.1 Decline or growth?<br />

Although some studies have suggested that the trade in rattan in Cameroon is growing<br />

(Defo, 1997), very little evidence is provided in this regard. During the interview<br />

process, the artisans sampled were requested to provide information regarding the<br />

growth or decline in their own consumption <strong>of</strong> rattan. Regarding this growth or<br />

decline, if they responded in the positive or the negative they were also asked to<br />

provide reasons why, in their experience, this is the case.<br />
