With an aim to export high-end products of bamboo to foreign countries, bamboo furniture orders will be accepted in mid 2017, according to the Myanmar Bamboo Growers Association.
Currently, the association cannot manage to manufacture ordered products due to a lack of ready to- use raw materials.
The bamboo association is currently receiving furniture orders from Mandalay, Pyin Oo Lwin, Tachilek, Nay Pyi Taw, Kalaw, etc. They will accept a series of orders only after a training school is established in Mandalay, said U Kyaw Win, the secretary of the Myanmar Bamboo Growers Association.
The association aims to export high-value bamboo products to foreign countries manufacturing ready-to-install bamboo furniture. If year-old bamboo plants are systematically cut, there is not a risk of bamboo extinction, said U Kyaw Win.
