The document outlines and compares the traditional and engineered bamboo industry value chains. The traditional bamboo industry value chain involves nursery establishment and management, natural stand plantation, cultivation of cultivars, harvesting, and production of traditional bamboo products like poles, handicrafts and furniture for foreign and local buyers. The engineered bamboo value chain adds primary processing like milling and composing, and production of engineered bamboo boards, panels, furniture and other products for institutional and commercial buyers. Both value chains involve research and development, farm management, and meeting production demands.
