 Rattan - the name for the roughly 600 species of palms trees
 superficially similar to bamboo-but stems are more solid than bamboo
 Have been known to grow up to hundreds of metres long.
 Rattan is much easier to harvest, requires simpler tools and is much
easier to transport.
 It provides a profitable crop that depends on rather than replaces trees
 Processed into several products to be used as materials in furniture and
basket making

certain extent—flexible
