The document investigates the export potential of Lao silk and mulberry products, noting that while there is a growing international market for 'green products', the industry faces risks of deforestation and water pollution. It highlights that Laos has a significant land area of mountains (80-85%) and that sustainable production requires strict adherence to environmental standards, such as ISO 14,000, to access niche markets. The paper suggests that the government's Industrial and Handicraft Development Strategy towards 2020 provides a framework for growth, but emphasizes the need for a robust certification system to prevent environmental degradation.

• To successfully enter high-value niche markets, Lao silk products must meet international environmental and quality standards, such as ISO 14,000, and implement a certification system to prove the products are produced sustainably without causing deforestation.
• The government's Industrial and Handicraft Development Strategy towards 2020 aims to increase the export of handicrafts, with targets to increase exports to 10 million USD by 2005, 15 million USD by 2010, and 20 million USD by 2020.
