Bamboo handicrafts
Bamboo is the world's most important non-timber forest product, that plays a vital role in the livelihoods of millions of people and communities across the tropics and sub-tropics. Because bamboo culms weigh little, they are relatively easy to harvest and carry home, and because bamboo poles split linearly, semi-skilled workers using simple tools can easily process them into value-added products.
