Abstract

Rattan is generally better known as a material for woven crafts for various products such as baskets, mats, lampits, bags, furniture, bridges, bats, ropes, takraw balls, children's toys, and so on. Rattan is an industrial raw material that is classified as environmentally friendly so that the products of the processed rattan industry, directly, are also environmentally friendly products. The policy of banning the export of raw rattan (raw materials) encourages investment in the rattan processing industry. Especially those that produce furniture products and other rattan-based handicrafts. However, from various rattan discussion forums, it has been revealed that there are many things that have not been accommodated by government policies, because they have not touched the problems that exist in the field, both regarding the issue of resources, rattan farmers/collectors, traders, processors, and the rattan trade system itself. To take advantage of this comparative advantage, it is necessary to conduct research on the analysis of the factors that affect the rattan investment in East Luwu district, South Sulawesi.
