Choo K .T., . and Daljeet-Sing K ., . (1985) Rattan processing and utilization in Peninsular Malaysia. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
Primary processing of raw canes in Peninsular Malaysia has been carried out by traditional methods since the beginning of the industry. The first step in processing involved 'curing' cleaning and drying of rattans. The two methods of 'curing' raw canes currently practised were the boiling or cooking method and the 'layang' method. Further processing of 'cured' canes in the form of decorticating and splitting for peels and round wick core was also being done in some processing plants. There were some 120 companies of various sizes engaged in the manufacturing of rattan furniture and other products in Peninsular Malaysia. The total annual sales value was estimated at M6 million. Most of these companies operated on a small-scale basis employing 4-10 persons each whereas the medium-scale establishments employ 50-100 workers. The exports of cane furniture alone amounted to M3-4 million annually
