12 Major problems/prospects The basic problem is of procuring material and selling for which they have to depend on the traders.
In the absence of the designing and material testing labs the artisan-based units are unable to ensure quality product.
Due to obsolete technology & old machinery used in cluster, the quality is deteriorating & production is also affected.
Wastage is high due to absence of technical training to the artisans.
No R&D and testing labs available in the cluster hence products is loosing its image.
There should be a separate section to improve marketing and export training for cluster.
Lack of knowledge on export documentations and procedure as well as assistance of the consultant.
