Yemen`s handicraft

Yemen`s handicraft products are the culmination of local wisdom and experience handed down from generation to generation. They build an important part of the cultural heritage created by many different civilizations during centuries of history.
Yemeni handicrafts are exquisitely handmade from local materials, refined with skill and creativity into unique products. Most of them are still undiscovered outside of Yemen.
In 2004 the Social Fund for Development Yemen launched a program to identify and promote unique products which are produced by small and micro businesses and social organisations with the goal to expand the country’s domestic and international trade. The program also aims to give advice to the producers how to improve their businesses, e.g. in the fields of production methods, quality control, marketing and product design to make Yemeni products more attractive to export markets.
So far a number of product groups have been classified for promotion: baskets & natural fibre items, textiles & dresses, silver jewellery & metal work, pottery, gifts & decorative items, window decorations, incense & myrrh, recycled crafts, furniture & interiors, natural cosmetics & medicine and Mocha coffee.
Please have a look at the following products, which give an impression of the vast variety of the handicrafts made in communities all over Yemen. All products displayed herewith are appropriately selected for the export market and a high quality standard will be guaranteed.
If you are interested in one or more of the products, please send us an email and mention the code number of the item. We will provide you all necessary information about the products and will advise and support you handling the import and shipping procedures
