Handicraft Industry in the Trust Territory

Abstract

"Handicraft in Micronesia is a marginal or transitional activity as people tend to leave it when higher paying work becomes available. Income from handicraft, unless it is derived from a mass production industry, cannot compete with wages paid in industry or government. On some islands in Micronesia, subsistence agriculture will continue to be the basis of existence for a long time to come as people will be satisfied to consume the coconuts they grow instead of drying them .for copra. In such cases, handicraft becomes the only means to obtain cash." (Quoted from Introduction.)
