This study briefly discussed about the problem and challenges faced by Sarawak handicraft entrepreneurs such as forest-based products, textile products, metal-based products, ceramic
products and assorted crafts in the state.It is based on my research carried out in the year
2011 till 2012.Most entrepreneurs that are involved in this research were registered under
Perbadanan Kemajuan Kraftangan Sarawak and Sarawak Craft Council by making handicrafts-as full-time or part-time jobs. Some of them have been identified actively producing handicrafts
in a big and small scale.Nevertheless, to develop and expand their products in the market,
they encounter several problems and challenges, relatively to the lack of raw materials.This
has been a very common issue highlighted by the entrepreneurs during this research is
conducted since 2011. Besides that, few of the handicraft entrepreneurs in Sarawak have been
identified to face with the lack of capital, long time of product completion, inadequate of
technological equipment, market and customer demand, and so forth
