Wood carving artisans in developing countries face significant economic challenges that threaten their livelihoods and the preservation of traditional crafts. Limited access to global markets restricts their ability to sell products at fair prices, while rising costs of quality wood and tools squeeze profit margins. Many artisans also struggle with competition from mass-produced, cheaper alternatives, which devalue their handmade work. Additionally, lack of financial literacy and access to credit hampers their ability to scale or sustain their businesses. Climate change further exacerbates these issues by affecting the availability of raw materials. Without targeted support, these artisans risk being pushed out of the trade, leading to the loss of cultural heritage and economic opportunities in their communities.
