Bali`s handicraft exports to east Europe reach US$2.1 million

The handicraft products mostly ordered by East European importers from Bali were wooden household utensils, plaited items and bamboo handicraft articles besides garments and toys, she said.

She said that the East European countries which imported Balinese handicraft products included Norway, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Rumania and Ukraine.

The great demand for Bali`s handicraft products was thanks to some East European businesspeople who once paid a business visit to the resort island for several days three years ago.
