BGC: A Global Leader in Rural Handicraft Development
We bridge the gap between ancestral craftsmanship and the rigorous standards of international demand.
From design mentorship to global trade missions, our core expertise lies in transforming traditional rural skills into professional, market-ready industries.
Our handicraft programs utilize seasonal downtime and local resources. We enhance agricultural initiatives by creating powerful, complementary revenue streams, providing families with the consistent capital.
Our handicraft work: AIMM
A. Assess & Plan
We begin with field assessments to understand skills, materials, production patterns, costs and constraints. We build strategies blending capacities, needs, market conditions and project goals. We design capacity based, market driven products in line with global trends and costing realities.
I. Implement
Empower artisans with design, technical and business training to strengthen production and develop marketable product collections within market pricing structures. Collaboration with government agencies and support organizations reinforces knowledge transfer and local capacity.
M. Market
Link artisans directly to buyers to create stable, long-term partnerships. Linkage activities include networking with local businesses (hotels, restaurnats, etc.) global buyer trips, trade missions, participation in international trade shows, and wholesale web platforms.
M. Mentor
Ongoing mentoring during market preparations and after sales begin gives artisan entrepreneurs the tools to sustain and scale their sales and relationships with the market. TOTs for local professionals equips them with practical tools to guide artisans
during entrepreneurial growth, creating a local ecosystem for growth.
