billion during the financial year 2011-12 as compared to the same period
in 2010-11, as informed by the nodal body of handicraft exports today.
The country witnessed the growth despite the sluggish demand in major importing markets like the US and Europe.

as per the figures of the Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts
(EPCH). In the last fiscal, the growth was mainly driven by growing
demand in new markets like China and Latin America.
