Myanmar is preparing to export three types of fresh bamboo shoots to the Russian Federation, and tests are also being carried out to enable the export of odourless fresh bamboo shoots to the European market, according to the Bamboo Shoot and Bamboo Growers and Producers Association.
“Russia has made offers to purchase three types
of fresh bamboo shoots, including boiled fibre bamboo shoots. In addition,
there have been proposals to distribute odourless fresh bamboo shoots to
markets as far as European countries, so we are currently conducting trials,”
said a responsible official from the association.
Moreover, Japan has placed orders for up to 200
tonnes of dried bamboo shoots for this year, although only 10 per cent of the
order has so far been exported. As a first shipment, five tonnes of dried
bamboo shoots will be exported to Japan in February, and the remaining 15
tonnes will be shipped consecutively thereafter.
For the production of dried bamboo shoots,
fresh bamboo shoots are collected annually from July to September and dried
from November until the end of March before being exported for sale overseas.
When exporting fresh and dried bamboo shoots to
international markets, dried bamboo shoots produced from certain bamboo species
are known to meet international market standards. In processing bamboo shoots
into finished products, special care must be taken to ensure that no chemical
substances are used, as the presence of chemical residues could result in the
loss of market access.
