Jodhpur, renowned for its rich heritage and skilled artisans, stands as a pivotal center for India’s handicraft industry. The city boasts over 500 handicraft manufacturing units, with approximately half dedicated to exports. These enterprises produce a diverse array of products, including wooden and iron handicrafts, textiles, and more, contributing significantly to India’s export landscape.

However, despite the global appeal of Jodhpur’s handicrafts, manufacturers encounter several challenges in the export process. Addressing these hurdles is essential for sustaining and enhancing their presence in international markets.

Common Export Challenges for Jodhpur Handicraft Manufacturers

1. Quality Assurance and Standardization: Maintaining consistent quality that meets international standards is crucial. Variations in product quality can lead to customer dissatisfaction and harm the brand’s reputation.
2. Market Access and Buyer Identification: Identifying and connecting with reliable international buyers can be daunting. Limited access to global networks often restricts market expansion opportunities.
3. Regulatory Compliance and Documentation: Navigating the complex web of international trade regulations, certifications, and documentation requirements can be overwhelming, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises.
4. Logistics and Supply Chain Management: Efficiently managing logistics to ensure timely delivery while minimizing costs is a significant challenge. Issues such as inadequate infrastructure and transportation delays can adversely affect export operations.
5. Financial Constraints: Limited access to capital and financial resources can hinder the ability to scale operations, invest in technology, or manage cash flow effectively during the export process.
