This research attempts comprehensive assessment of the Philippine rattan sector to identify strategic policy and research agenda for: (1) the sustainable development of the sector and (2) the improvement of the socio-economic conditions of those primarily dependent on it for income and employment. This effort supports the Philippine government’s initiatives to: 1. Promote the sustainable development of its natural resources; 2. Undertake poverty alleviation programs, especially for disadvantaged groups;
and 3. Pursue a rural area-based, employment-oriented, agro-industrial development strategy. The information gathered by this research will contribute to enhancing the sector’s database, which provides the basis for rational decision-making, and allow information exchange and interaction among the Network members.
