The Deputy Prime Minister said bamboo was an important natural resource, adding that Malaysia was home to about 70 bamboo species, with 45 being local species found in Malaysian forests.“Although its export value is not big when compared to other timber products, bamboo has the potential to be developed and used as an alternative source for various applications,” he said when officiating the World Bamboo Day Malaysia 2023 at the Forest Research Institute Malaysia auditorium yesterday.
He added that some 577 industry players are actively involved in the industry through sectors such as furniture, construction, textiles, plantations, food, charcoal and handicraft. Fadillah also noted how the ministry, through the Malaysian Timber Industry Board , also took various measures to improve the national bamboo industry. This includes building bamboo plantations in Hulu Terengganu, which comprises 15ha of land, and the bamboo community farming programme, which was approved under the 12th Malaysia Plan.
