PGS Rattan or Participatory Guarantee System Certified Rattan is a project initiated by NTFP-EP Indonesia that aims to apply an appropriate, effective, cost-efficient certification to rattan harvested from rattan gardens by community-based suppliers. It aims to contribute to the overall goal of increasing benefits for rattan producers and promoting sustainable resource management. The integrated approach ties in sustainability market mechanisms and installs premiums for local communities and thus ensures continued sustainability.
