Association for Craft Producers

The Association for Craft Producers (ACP) is a fair trade organization that provides design, marketing, management, and technical services to low income, predominantly women, Nepalese craft producers. Meera Bhatterai founded ACP in 1984, with a vision to pay women directly, teach them how to price their work so as not to be exploited in the market, and ultimately to give women a greater voice. Today, because of ACP, nearly 1000 women from 15 districts in Nepal have the opportunity to become more financially independent, and have gained more credibility in their communities through the production of their crafts.

Why Fair Trade Wholesale Paper from Ganesh Himal?

The paper, made from the bark of the Daphne or “lokta” is renowned for its exceptional durability and wonderful texture. Daphne grows in the Himalayan forests of north central Nepal between 4,000-8,000 ft. Lokta cutters sustainably collect the bark of the daphne according to the “Lokta Management Plan” that implements a 6 to 8 year rotation cycle to preserve the fragile forest ecology. Harvesters sell the bark to families to use for making paper.Nepali’s have been producing handmade paper in their villages for over a thousand years and still use it in their daily lives. We work directly with producers to design a range of beautiful and functional Fair Trade wholesale journals, card sets, stationary, wrapping paper, paper wall hangings, gift bags and journals.
