If you want the best in the business, sometimes you have to go directly to the source.

That’s certainly true for a product like Malawi Cane furniture, which has become incredibly sought after, both in South Africa and around the world.

That boon in demand has had a significant effect on the lives of many Malawians who are involved in the production of this furniture.

This often involves knowledge being passed down from one generation to the next, with the fruits of their labour then transported to Cape Town once completed.

For a good sense of what is involved, Malawi Cane produced this beautiful video:

Getting to Cape Town is just one part of the journey, with Malawi Cane furniture seeing a surge in demand right around the globe due to its craftsmanship and resilience.

Businesses have now opened up in the likes of Australia and the UK, which means that a reliable, quality company is needed to help out with the importing and exporting.

Malawi Cane has been making use of Berry & Donaldson for the past few years, and the results speak for themselves. They take care of all the dealings with airlines and shipping companies, handle all customs-related processes.

Their experienced and professional team also negotiates with contractors and pays all duties, taxes and rates, to ensure that your best interests are protected.

We all know how finicky a country like Australia is at customs – watch an episode of Border Security: Australia’s Front Line, it’s full on – so it pays to have the experts on board.

That leaves the real heroes, the men and women who make the furniture, to focus on putting their cane furniture-making skills to use.
