I want to find traditional baskets and mats. Are there any cooperatives that support local women artisans in the northern province.

The Palmyra Development Board showroom in Jaffna city is the most reliable place for high quality crafts. You can find everything from intricate baskets to hats and fans. Another great spot is the local craft cooperative near the Jaffna library. These organizations ensure fair wages for the women who spend hours hand weaving the tough leaves. The products are incredibly durable and are a signature of northern culture.
