Basket weaving is a lucrative business in Ghana. The country exported roughly $800,000 of baskets in 2016, and the industry has created a major source of employment for women in rural areas.

Apambila is one of 200,000 women in Bolgatanga, Bolga for short, who create handwoven Veta Vera grass baskets, famously known as Bolga Baskets.One of Ghana's biggest Bolga basket exporters, Dominic Abakuri says the practice of weaving baskets is a traditional skill as old as the community and has been passed on from generations."Once you are born here, you grow up with the skill from childhood, and then, you do it as a kind of extra activity," he told CNN.

By 2023, the Ghanaian market hopes to double its exports and international markets for the baskets.Creating a decent spaceThe Bolga baskets are undoubtedly booming in and out of Ghana, but weaving them is not without problems. According to Bolga basket weaver, Apambila, there is no decent place to sit while working. Primary infrastructure like sheds for the weavers to sit in and weave is unavailable.

In America, we pay to take underwater basket weaving as an elective.

Really $800k how many baskets do they have to export to buy 1 Ford

And they didn't need a college education!!

Forward this to college grads with liberal arts degrees.

$800,000 isn't a big number, even for Ghana.... how can that be 'lucrative'? Your sense of math is ... peculiar!

Trump will put tariffs on Ghana baskets, not because of the trade imbalance, ... Ivanka didn't get them to weave straw shoes first

I hope they are getting paid a living wage!!!

Happy that Ghana is exporting baskets thereby giving life to rural womens

Are they earning livable wages? Are there opportunities to grow?

Dont want to become a basket case

Those are nice baskets. Is the founder American?

Don't worry. Soon Chinese will make it cheaper...

Stone age when ?

Thank God for President Trump
