Abstract
This document highlights the emerging issues in bamboo and rattan that have relevance to INBAR' s programmatic approach to socio-economic development of rural and marginalized resource-poor communities. Using information from INBAR' s 11 production-to-consumption studies from South and Southeast Asia (6 bamboo studies from China, India, Nepal and the Philippines, and 5 rattan studies from Indonesia, Laos and the Philippines), this document blends case-specific information with regional trends in bamboo and rattan cultivation, harvesting, processing and trade. The discussion is not intended to be comprehensive but illustrative of the issues that are common across the bamboo and rattan sectors in the countries studied.
