The document summarizes the status of the Philippine bamboo industry and policies supporting its development. It discusses that the Philippines has 52,000 hectares of bamboo plantations producing 40 million poles annually to meet a demand of 60 million poles. The government has established several policies like EO 879 to promote the bamboo sector through reforestation targets, procurement requirements, and support programs. It outlines opportunities like available land and research but also challenges like lack of processing facilities, raw materials, and market information. Future plans include expanding plantations, shared facilities, shows, and financing to further develop the bamboo industry.

- 26. Support programs to strengthen the industry Provision of shared service facilities Training Techno transfer Access to raw materials Bamboo expo Marketing assistance Research and development on bamboo Loan Assistance for bamboo development projects
- 27. Shared Service Facility • Component of the DTI’s industry cluster development approach employed to micro, small and medium enterprise • Aims to raise production output, power cost, and improve the level of product quality that could make operation more efficient and consequently becoming competitive • Requires facilities, equipment and tools that are being shared by members of the cooperators
- 28. SME related policies that could support bamboo industry Government’s participation on free trade agreements (FTAs) - pave the way for country’s deeper trade and investment integration in the global economy Magna Carta for MSMEs (RA 9501) - Mandatory allocation of at least 8% of credit resources’ total loan portfolio to MSMEs Barangay Micro Business Enterprise (RA 9178) Act - Provides support to microenterprise and the informal sector through incentives to local government registered MEs, tax exemptions/reductions in local taxes, financial support and technological assistance from government institutions
- 29. SME related policies that could support bamboo industry 2011-2016 MSME Development Plan - Addresses critical constraints to the growth and development of MSME sector Universal Access to Competitiveness and Trade (U-Act) - Prepares FTA primers and conducts industry studies along with policy papers and impact on competitiveness
- 31. Opportunities Available tract of lands for bamboo plantations Availability of scientific experts doing research on bamboo and industrial engineers who can develop bamboo processing technologies Bamboo already established its commercial value as substitute for wood, plastic and metal Support from government and private sectors are in place Increasing demand for bamboo furniture, handicraft, construction materials and other finished products using 100% e-bamboo Contributes to climate change mitigation and reduce impact of natural disaster Opportunities
- 32. Challenges Lack of high tech facilities/ machineries in processing Lack of supply of bamboo poles as raw materials for finished products Lack of coordinated action in ensuring a steady supply of bamboo poles Lack of market information Substandard quality of products due to: - Low quality of raw materials - Lack of appropriate machinery - Lack of highly skilled technicians - Poor product designs
- 33. 4 Future Plans
- 34. » Continue R and D on bamboo production and utilization » Establishment of bamboo plantations by the government and private sectors » Continue provision of shared service facilities » Maintenance of bamboo nodes and hubs » Conduct of SME Roving Academy » Bamboo Showcases (different events, venues) and Philippine International Furniture Show » Marketing and Promotion and Bamboo advocacy thru mass media » Financing Facilitation Plans to support bamboo industry in the Philippines To keep the country's status as one of the world's top bamboo producers, Senator Paulo Benigno Aquino has filed Senate Resolution No. 1203 seeking to conduct an inquiry on the status of the Philippine Bamboo Industry Development Roadmap.

Editor's Notes
- A pleasant afternoon to everyone!. It is my pleasure to be part of this international workshop on the roles of SME in Bamboo Industry Development. My presentation would be on the policies that Philippines had in support to the bamboo sector development .
- First, I will give you a brief background on the status of the Philippine bamboo industry. Then, what are the policies related to its development. The third part will on the challenges and opportunities which are important in making sure that for the development of the sector and lastly, what are would be the plans for the bamboo industry
- According to a study conducted by Virtucio and Roxas in 2004, There are about 62 native and introduced species of bamboo in the Philippines. 53 of them are erect species while 17 are climbing species
- Bamboo is vital resource in terms of contribution to the national economy and environmental stability.
- The bamboo industry, one of the oldest industries in the country, may be viewed as having two major components: (1) the production component and (2) the processing or manufacturing component The main function of the production component is to produce raw materials such as poles, planting stocks of ornamental species and shoots that can be processed into different kinds of food products
- The main function of the production component is to produce raw materials such as poles, planting stocks of ornamental species and shoots that can be processed into different kinds of food products
- The main function of the processing or manufacturing component is to turn out various kinds of products of which the major ones in the Philippines are furniture, handicrafts,
- Bamboo nodes –facilities where raw bamboo were cut, sliced, treated and dried , it is equipped with bamboo pole cutter, two twine rip saw, and treatment splitter. These could be cooperatives, people’s organizations that are usually located near the plantation sites Bamboo hub – capable of manufacturing tiles, planks, other products that may be used for the construction of e-bamboo products such as chairs, tables, panels, etc.
- To accelerate the building of local capacity to meet the increasing needs for e-bamboo products, DTI introduced the establishment of a system of nodes and hubs where nodes comprise of community or village level enterprise in bamboo rich areas that serve as facilities for converting round poles into slats. Slats are then transported to the hubs where equipment and skills are available to transform the slats into e-bamboo planks, and then assembled into school desks in accordance with government approved prototypes.
- This system markedly improves the supply chain of bamboo to be used as raw material in the factory as it affords the gatherers from upstream the opportunity to add value to bamboo and therefore gain higher income from their produce. Transport efficiency also improves as only raw materials in usable forms are loaded and delivered to the factory.
- Seeing the potential of bamboo to the Philippine economy and environmental stability, an Executive Order was issued Creating the Philippine Bamboo Industry Development Council
- This reforestation is the contribution of the Philippines to the ASEAN commitment of establishing 20M hectares of new forest by 2020 as part of the initiatives to improve our environment. This Promote the Bamboo Industry Development Project and Directs the use of Bamboo for at least 25% of the Desk and other Furniture Requirements of Public Elementary and Secondary Schools and Prioritizing the Use of Bamboo in Furniture, Fixtures and other Construction Requirements of Government Facilities and Allocating Funds therefore and other Purposes.
- Machines and equipment procured by DTI under the SSF project remains its property but are used by industry players who are qualify as cooperators
