Although we can see the faction busy scene, the workers are busing on the new Willow crafts color. The supervising manager do not satisfied. He said, willow handcrafts industry suffered slump, European debt crisis took half of orders, willow handcrafts like traditions willow basket orders scanty in most willow industry companies.

 This problem is microcosm of the willow industry. As survey, about three of the willow company because there are no orders then factories stop production closes, or even move to other industry. The international environment is like a barometer, because of our products are mainly exported to Europe and the United States and other countries, the international environment changes directly counterproductive in willow handcrafts export.
