The document summarizes bamboo developments in Indonesia. It notes that Indonesia has suitable climate conditions and large bamboo resources. Key recent developments include national mapping of suitable bamboo planting locations, a national bamboo planting plan of 100 million clumps, and development of "1000 Bamboo Villages" integrated bamboo industry projects. Strategic plans include planting 25,000 hectares of bamboo by 2023, developing bamboo for industry/handicrafts, providing seeds, and building 10 village power plants per year using bamboo. Cooperation is sought with INBAR on activities like training, technology support, rehabilitation, and market development.

2. Supporting Factors of
Bamboo Development In
Indonesia1. Indonesia has suitable climate for
bamboo (elevation 0 - 1.200 m, rainfall
> 1020 mm/year, temperature 8-36 C,
humidity > 60 %, all type of soil).
2. There are 1,85 million of bamboo plants
(with approximately 1.540.962.125 rods)
in 22 provinces in Indonesia.
3. ASEAN member states together account
for approximately 20% (USD 393 million)
of the global bamboo trade, among that
Indonesia contribute 40% (USD 150
million).

WHY BAMBOO ?
There are many advantages from bamboo :
1. Eco-friendly
§ Bamboo converts about 35% more CO2 into
oxygen than a regular trees.
§ Bamboo consumes high quantities of nitrogen
and this can help reduce water pollution and it is
a good windbreaks.
§ Bamboo is good soil stabilization, its roots help
control soil erosion as it creates a water barrier.
2. Highly Profitable
§ Bamboo is a very fast growing, renewable and
easy-to-grow resource. It is an extremely versatile
material with countless uses including
construction, clothes, food and fuel.
§ Bamboo does not require high cost investment. It
is not needing pesticides or herbicides to grow
well. It grows from it’s roots, when it is cut it
quickly grows back with most species maturing in
3-5 years.

7. No Aspect Problems
1 Policy • Yet integrated policies across sectors (upstream and
downstream development has not integrated)
• Bamboo is still developed on a small scale, in the future
bamboo development will be developed towards large-
scale forest area (FMU)
2 Data • National bamboo data; potentials, species and distribution
has not available and update.
• Bamboo area has converted to residential, agricultural, and
timber plantation.
3 Technology • Nursery technology is still traditional (cuttings)
• Bamboo processing machinery manufacturing is still limited
undeveloped due to utilization of ± 60% bamboo plants are
still used in the form of rods
BAMBOO PROBLEMS IN INDONESIA

8. No Aspect Problems
4 Institutional • Bamboo village community has not been developed
• No farmer groups have access to financial institutions yet.
5 Capital • The development of small-scale bamboo industry business is not
bankable
• Farmers have difficulty accessing capital from banks because they
have no collateral
6 H u m a n
R e s o u r c e s
Quality
• Unskilled farmers in using bamboo machinaries.
• Farmers knowledge (technology and management bamboo cultivation)
is still low
• Expert in bamboo processing technology is still lacking
7 Investment • Investment in bamboo industry from private sectors have not been
developed yet
• Sources of raw materials are not yet available sustainability and are
scattered on a small scale so attract less investors
