(HBO) – The Sustainable Forest Management Component of the Sustainable Forest Management and Biodiversity Conservation (VFBC) Project funded by the USAID, in collaboration with the project implementation unit (DAI) organized an initial workshop on the development of bamboo supply chain in the northern province of Hoa Binh.

Participants to the event include representatives of the VFBC management board, provincial departments, branches, and a number of enterprises and cooperatives

Participants contribute ideas at the workshop.

According to report, Hoa Binh province is home to about 16,658 hectares of bamboo, grown mainly in Da Bac, Mai Chau, Kim Boi and Cao Phong districts. Bamboo not only contributes to increasing the province’s forest coverage but also creates livelihoods for local people.

But locals here have yet to invest in growing bamboo trees, unaware of the techniques for growth, maintenance and harvesting of bamboo or bamboo shoots. There is also the hurdle of unstable prices, lack of market information and limited investment in bamboo processing.

At the workshop, delegates reviewed the development potential of bamboo in Hoa Binh province and the project's operational plan in an effort to develop bamboo supply chains and contribute to the Sustainable Forest Management Component of bamboo production in the province./.
