In collaboration with the Biodiversity Foundation (KEHATI), Krealogi provided guidance to the Subinana Women Bamboo Artisans community, located in Nginamanu Village, Wolomeze District, Ngada Regency, Flores, East Nusa Tenggara. The community faced challenges because they produced items solely to meet customary needs, thereby limiting their market access to specific traditional communities. Furthermore, their product development had not yet met the quality standards desired by the broader market, resulting in suboptimal market uptake.
Krealogi provided end-to-end guidance covering everything from supply chain management to production and assisted the Nginamanu artisans in innovating products designed to access hyperlocal markets. This four-month program successfully yielded two new product innovations: bamboo polybags (2,000 units sold to meet the needs of the Yayasan Bambu Lestari foundation) and bamboo pots and woven bamboo standing pouches (which underwent market testing). Through this program, the Subinana women artisans learned to manage and organize their resources to meet market demand for their bamboo crafts, positioning the community to develop their business effectively and efficiently in the future.
