Sourcing Process

Our step-by-step sourcing, treatment, and shipping protocol ensures consistent, export-ready natural rattan products.

TIMELINE WORKFLOW

How We Deliver Quality at Scale

From harvesting in local rainforests to loading containers, we supervise each phase with dedicated quality checks.

01

Material Selection & Harvesting

We select mature rattan poles (Manau, Tohiti, Sega) harvested by local partners in Indonesia to guarantee durable fibers and sustainable forest extraction.

02

Treatment & Anti-Fungal Washing

Harvested poles undergo traditional curing and anti-fungal washing. This removes natural sugars to prevent beetle infestations and prepare the wood for staining.

03

Moisture Kiln Drying

Poles are slow-dried in temperature-controlled kilns until moisture drops below 15%. This critical drying phase prevents warping and future mildew growth during container shipping.

04

Splitting & Hand-Weaving

Skilled weavers split the glossy bark into fine cane wraps and hand-weave complex patterns. Any core remains are rounded into structural cores or packaging ties.

05

Quality Assurance Audits

Every batch is inspected for size tolerance, uniform weave tension, structural joint splits, and clean finish alignments before moving to the packaging bay.

06

Container Loading & Custom Docs

Cargo is packed securely in moisture-barrier wraps. Tradeasia handles bookings, phytosanitary certifications, fumigation documents, and smooth port customs clearance.
