PLANS
are underway to develop bamboo plantations in three areas of the country on a
commercial scale, according to those from bamboo industry.
Plantations
will be set up in Bago Yoma Mountain Range, Rakhine Yoma Mountain Range and
Taninthayi Region. China, Thailand and Viet Nam pledged to cooperate with the
country to fulfill technical needs for planting.
Bamboo
exporters say that both domestic and foreign demands for locally made
bamboo-based products, including handicrafts as well as personal and household
goods, have gradually been increased. The neighbouring Bangladesh is a major
bamboo importer for Myanmar. Singapore and Korea also import the country’s
bamboo-based products such as furniture and household utensils.
Myanmar
has a great future for bamboo-based handicrafts. Sometimes, demand exceeds
supply. According to trade record, the country annually earns about US$5
million from the export of bamboo-based products to abroad.
