Retreaders Switching to Agate Crafting
Retreaders in the Banjar area of Indonesia are transferring away from tyre buffing to agate polishing. The appeal of the agate business is quite simply that it is a more financially rewarding craft to follow.
One ex-retreader, Koswara, a resident of City of Banjar said that after
struggling in retreading he moved to agate work. "Thank God, since moving into agate crafting, I have been flooded with orders from the Banjar area or from outside, such as Tasikmalaya and Bandung." said Koswara.
