What benefit can artisans get when dependence on middlemen decreases in handicrafts?

Correct answer: They may receive a better price for their products

When there are fewer middlemen, artisans may reach customers, cooperatives, or markets more directly. This can reduce commission deductions and help artisans receive a better price and higher income for their products. Option B is incorrect because direct selling generally gives artisans greater control over pricing. Exam tip: In handicraft marketing, fewer middlemen usually mean a higher return for the artisan.
