SRINAGAR, JANUARY 21: The Director Handicrafts and Handloom Kashmir, Mahmood Ahmad Shah held an extensive web meeting with Dr Suyash Chavan Consulate General of India (CGI), Germany.

The online meeting dealt exclusively in reviewing the scope of developing end-to-end export linkages to provide quality handicraft products of Kashmir to the German Market in particular and rest of Europe in general so as to ensure quality products reach Germany to increase the handicraft exports to Germany.

Germany is the largest consumer of Kashmir carpets and in addition imports Chain Stitch, Paper Machie and Walnut furniture from Kashmir. As the weather of Germany is characterized by cold winters, this makes it a perfect destination for the use of Kashmiri Shawls, Rugs and Carpets.

The tie-up shall also aim to connect art lovers and handicraft importers of Germany with  exporters from Kashmir and also achieve a tie up of master craftsmen and artisans of Kashmir  with art connoisseurs through digital platforms, which shall ensure long term sustainability for arts like Papier-mâché, sozni, kani shawl, basket weaving, khatamband, wood carving, silver and copper carving, carpet weaving, leather, silk and pashmina weaving amongst other crafts that Kashmir is known for in German markets

It was discussed that the participation of Handicrafts & Handloom shall be facilitated in participation in upcoming Expos and Trade shows which shall provide an opportunity of international exposure as well as showcasing the Kashmiri art at international platforms besides selling their inventory which has remained unsold due to COVID-19 pandemic.

To begin with, GI certified products of Kashmir shall be presented to the Consulate General of India, Germany which includes Pashmina, Khatamband, Walnut wood carving, Sozni, Kani Shawl, Hand knotted carpet, Paper Machie and Saffron for display in the Consulate General Munich office and in the exhibitions at Germany.

The Counsel General was assured that digital content like pictures videos, brochures will be provided to CG for disseminations in German Market.
