Handicrafts in Nicaragua: an opportunity in the face of unemployment and economic obstacles
Handicrafts in Nicaragua have long been perceived as inefficient and unprofitable, due to rather primitive production technologies and limited output. However, in a country like Nicaragua, where unemployment is high, these aspects can be transformed into advantages. Indeed, handicrafts are based on person-to-person learning, enabling many people to acquire skills without having to invest in expensive studies. The development of tourism and business also supports this growing trend.
The quality of Nicaraguan handicrafts has improved in recent years, prompting European, Canadian and American companies to take an interest in many of the items. As animporter of Latinohammocks, our collaboration has been very positive, with punctual deliveries and products arriving in excellent condition, demonstrating the quality of the work carried out.
Masaya cotton hammocks: growing exports worldwide
It's worth noting that hammocks from Nicaragua represent the majority of Nicaragua's artisanal exports, as a number of companies have dedicated themselves to promoting hammocks. Thanks to the internet and social networks, the producers themselves are getting involved in distributing their products and promoting their work in the country and beyond. This "new" promotional work has led to an increase in the network of artisanal businesses: successful hammock workshops, which employed around 10 people in 1995, now employ 30 people. to 60 workers per workshop. The most widely exported hammocks are the famous bar hammocks.
Hammock production generates substantial direct and indirect employment, estimated in the city of Masaya at several thousand people.
