| Before 2016, there was quite a frequent demand for large orders, but in recent times, such substantial orders have become scarce. As a result, the villagers take advantage of their leisure time to knit bamboo and rattan to sell to merchants. What the villagers desire the most is support in connecting with customers to ensure a steady market for their products. |
