Eriko Yamaguchi, founder of Motherhouse Co., which has manufactured and imported bags and other goods made of jute in Bangladesh since 2006, is determined to help developing countries out of poverty.
With the bags made of locally produced jute, Yamaguchi, 27, believes her mission is to show the world that developing countries have "superb resources and potential" for growth.
"Our products will be the choice of developed countries when their economies mature. People will choose our products for the story behind them."
