 The district of Shwazel will soon solidify its place as the craft mecca of St. Lucia. Export St. Lucia announced that it has been receiving increased interest in Shwazel's craft products, such as coal pots and weave baskets from foreign markets. As interest from the U.K. and U.S. markets continues to increase, Export St. Lucia's chief executive officer, CEO Sunita Danielle, said that Export St. Lucia is collaborating with the Shwazel Craft Association to aid it in accessing foreign markets. One step towards making this a reality is the cataloging of craft products. What we're trying to do is to get the craft items online and for sale by the outside customers and so they'll be able to access coal pots, weave baskets, anything that the crafters have and they'll be able to access those online. Export St. Lucia is currently working with a buyer in the U.S. market and is in the process of shipping craft items to the United States. Anticipating the growth of St. Lucia's craft industry, the CEO explained that there are plans to expand to other communities. One of the things that Export St. Lucia does is because we are a development agency, is that we fill in any gaps that the producers themselves are experiencing. So for example, if we see that there is additional need to beef up their own expertise, we do that for them and so we do a lot of hand-holding of our clients. We don't believe anybody should be doing it alone. There's a lot of that until we can say, okay, we'll let you go and do what you have to do. So we will be starting with Shwazel but we do expect to really develop a comprehensive program for craft throughout the item. Export St. Lucia assured its commitment to the growth and development of St. Lucia's craft industry, finding new ways of supporting the industry and meeting the demands of foreign markets.
