Islands of Rattan Forest
Indonesia is the largest exporters of rattan furniture in the world. This is as consequences that Indonesia has the largest rattan forest in the world. Rattan forest can grow in tropical forest and Indonesia lies in tropical area. Good rattan forest can be found in 3 big islands : Sumatera, Kalimantan and Sulawesi. From these islands most of rattan materials are supplied.
Then we assume that the rattan industry location should be in those 3 islands. This assumption seem logical, however this is not true. The center for rattan industry still located in Java islands. This situation occurs because the infrastructure, the supporting industry and the skilled labor still abundance in Java island. One of the center for rattan industry is in Cirebon,
