From the experience of the Craft Complex 1, belonging to the Local Industry of province of Santiago de Cuba, located in the town of El Mico, rural village in the municipality II Frente, has been described the process of obtaining the fiber bark of Sterculia apetala (Jacq.) Karst, known as anacahüita, and the economic feasibility is assessed in the production of handicrafts, as an alternative to use of a Non-Wood Forest Product provided by the species. The behavior of economic indicators in producing handicraft items suggests a differentiated analysis for the development of each of the categories of NWFPs and their productive use, according to their physical characteristics, usability and processing contexts application, and behavior of economic indicators.
