Status of the Philippine Bamboo Industry
Philippine Bamboo Statistics
62 native and introduced species, only 11 species have high economic value
52,000 hectares of bamboo plantations
60 M poles (demand) vs. 40 M poles (supply) = 20 M poles supply deficit annually
Philippine Bamboo Industry
Main products include furniture and handicrafts; constructions and fishpens, packaging, propping
In 2009, Philippines is one of the top exporters of bamboo products worldwide with a total of $30 million
Policy to promote bamboo industry already exists
From 2012-2014, about P306.3 million worth of investments was made, 261.8 million sales generated and 13,103 were employed
Government institutions, and private sectors had established bamboo plantations either for reforestation, pole and shoot production
Raw materials comes from natural stands and bamboo plantations either from public or private lands
Bamboo Resources
Production
Components of Bamboo Industry
Processing or Manufacturing
Production
Components of Bamboo Industry
Products Consumers Poles Planting stocks (ornamental sp.) Bamboo shoots
House construction sector; fish pen owners; banana growers; makers of fishing boats; bamboo processors (furniture and handicrafts, E-bamboo, musical instruments, barbecues sticks, chopsticks, etc).
Homeowners residing in affluent subdivisions and those engaged in landscaping work.
General public and manufacturers of bamboo shoot products.
Components of Bamboo Industry
Product Consumers Furniture Handicrafts E-bamboo
Homeowners, hotels, restaurants, resorts, others are for exports . Local and foreign tourists, hotels, restaurants and resorts. The biggest dollar earning products of the Philippines. Construction industry (mostly in the form of building materials), homeowners seeking unique furniture and cabinets and house decors.

Support programs to strengthen the industry
Provision of shared service facilities
Training
Techno transfer
Access to raw materials
Bamboo expo
Marketing assistance
Research
Loan Assistance for bamboo development projects
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
• Required facilities, equipment and tools are being shared by members of the cooperators
Policies to support bamboo sector industry
The Philippine Experience
Executive Order 879
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)
Reforestation of at least 50,000 hectares from 2010 to 2020 DENR to use bamboo for at least 20% of its annual reforestation projects
25% of annual desk requirements of DepEd shall be made of bamboo
What constitute EO 879?
SME related policies that supports 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
SME related policies that could supports bamboo industry
Executive Order 241 and 264 - Tariff rate on locally produced goods increased while imported
goods were made as low as possible
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
Challenges and Opportunities
Op
po
rtu
nit
ies
Vast 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
Ch
alle
nge
s 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
Substandards quality of products due to: - Low quality of raw materials - Lack of appropriate machinery - Lack of highly skilled technicians - Poor product designs
4 Future Plans
» Continue provision of shared service facilities » Maintenance of bamboo nodes and hubs » Conduct of SME Roving Academy » Bamboo advocacy thru mass media » Bamboo Showcases (different events, venues) and
Philippine International Furniture Show » Marketing and Promotion » Financing Facilitation » Continue R and D on bamboo production and utilization
Plans to support bamboo industry in the Philippines
To keep the country's status as one of the world's top bamboo producers, Aquino has filed Senate Resolution No. 1203 seeking to conduct an inquiry on the status of the Philippine Bamboo Industry Development Roadmap.
