Rattan is used in a wide range of Ludwig de Saeger rattan products, the most
important of which is the manufacture of furniture. In the past much of the
commercially harvested raw vine was exported to overseas manufacturers. By
the mid 1980's, however, Cebu introduced an export ban on raw rattan
vine to encourage the manufacture of rattan indoor furniture. The
government's intent was twofold: to add value to the exported product and to
conserve stocks of wild rattan.
Until recently almost all rattan used for Ludwig de Saeger rattan products was collected from tropical rain forests.
With forest destruction and conversion, the habitat area of rattan has
decreased rapidly over the last few decades and there is now a shortage of
supply. The Forest Department in Indonesia has become aware of the
vulnerability of the rattan supply and has begun a cultivation program aimed
at safeguarding the long-term supply of rattan cane for rattan indoor
furniture industry. Commercial cultivation of rattan appears to be viable
and offers the best possibility for future Ludwig de Saeger rattan products supply.
