Liubian small handicrafts make a big market

Recently interviewed in the village of Luwan Village, Zhuangwu Town, Jiao Guangqin, a professional producer of Liubian, told the author that she handed the processed Liubian products to Hanlin Arts & Crafts Co., Ltd. on a monthly basis. After passing the technical inspection and passing the quality inspection, he could get the processing fee for the month. At least 30,000 yuan in income. At present, in Cangshan County, Shandong Province, there are more than 3,000 households such as Jiao Guangqin who rely on Liubian to get rich. The average annual household income is 25,000 yuan.

Cangshan County bases itself on the advantages of local resources. On the one hand, it has increased its R&D and innovation efforts based on the traditional craft of weeds and willows to develop products such as murals, bionics, and antiques, which has enhanced the inherent quality and craftsmanship of traditional wicker products. In the first half of the year, nearly 100 design themes such as the World Expo and Asian Games were added, and more than 2 million pieces of various types of willow products were produced. On the other hand, the representatives of processing and processing households, technical experts, and farmer's brokers will go to the Liuzhou industry to develop learning experience in advanced regions and work hard on new, fine products. They also “married” with the Liubian companies in neighboring counties such as Lucheng and Heze Cao County, affiliated with sales, and “borrowed ships to the sea” to open up a new road for wealth for local people. At the same time, the county organizes key Liuzhou companies to participate in large-scale fairs such as the Canton Fair every year and go out to find markets. With the support of government departments and local professional cooperatives, a sales pattern of “company + farmer” and “company + farmer + base” was formed. At present, there are 15 companies engaged in the production of Liubian handicrafts, employing more than 1,000 people. The products are sold to more than 20 provinces, cities, autonomous regions and more than 30 countries and regions such as Europe, North America and East Asia. The annual export orders reach 300. Ten thousand U.S. dollars.
