Encourage local ceramics
In recent years, a very small number of cottage ceramics industries have come up producing handcrafted, hand painted stoneware and porcelain decorative products. The range of products includes mugs, vases, showpieces tableware etc. with high quality, exclusive designs, both western and traditional. Eighty per cent of ceramic decorative products are imported from China, Thailand etc and the ones which are manufactured here are also sold as imported because of quality. The costumers should buy more local products which will encourage the local industry to develop and contribute to the economy. We urge the caretaker government to assist these SMEs to expand rapidly for employment generation.
