Meet Indu Muei: a 67-year old purun farmer from Tumbang Nusa
Indu Muei has been weaving Purun products consistently for the last 50 years in order to support herself and her family. She told us that the future development of these village-based handicrafts will all depend on the support activities carried out by the private sector and the government. Such activities can dramatically increase the demand for Purun products. But unfortunately, during the current pandemic, the restrictions on community activities have had a very serious impact on the harvesters and the artisans in the village. Currently, she is only able to sell about five Purun products per month.
