Here's a general overview of the process:

Harvesting Rattan: Harvesters cut the rattan stems from the palm trees, selecting mature stems that are flexible and suitable for processing.
Stripping and Cleaning: Once harvested, the outer skin of the rattan stems is removed to reveal the inner core. This outer layer, called the skin or peel, is typically discarded or used for other purposes. The cleaned rattan core is then sorted and graded based on quality and size.
Splitting and Sizing: Depending on the intended use, the rattan core may be split into thinner strips using specialized tools. These strips are then sorted and sized according to the desired thickness and length.
Smoothing and Shaping: The rattan core strips may be further processed to smooth out any rough edges and shape them into uniform pieces. This may involve sanding, planing, or steaming the rattan core to make it more pliable and easier to work with.
Packaging and Distribution: Once the rattan core strips are processed and prepared, they are packaged and distributed to manufacturers, artisans, or other users for weaving, basket making, furniture construction, or other applications.
