you may be thinking of China. i don't think Japan has a lot of wild animal life - it's similar to Jamaica that way.

Re: How do WE use Bamboo?

Here is information about a company in St. Catherine that does some innovative work with bamboo They do everything from beds and living room furniture to lamps, trays, accessories, and even computer work stations:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> The Original Bamboo Factory Limited (OBF) produces an exotic line of durable, high quality furniture and accessories using carefully selected Jamaican bamboo which has undergone a thorough preservation treatment. Skilled craftsmen then create high quality products from our original designs. In addition to the standard items shown on our website, we also do custom designed furniture.

</div></div>

http://www.originalbamboofactory.com

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">OBF has been manufacturing high quality bamboo furniture and accessories since 1990.

OBF’s chief executive officer is John Hamilton who is one of the original founders of the Company. He was born and grew up on Caymanas Estates located just outside Kingston, Jamaica and it is here that OBF is situated. John’s parents, who are of Scottish origin, farmed sugar cane, cattle and thoroughbred racehorses on the estate.

John was sent off at an early age to the UK for an education and although he graduated with a Diploma in Agriculture, the idea of farming soon lost out to his dream of making bamboo furniture similar to the type that he saw on a visit to Thailand.

After a stint of working with crews making movies in Jamaica, he decided to pursue his dream using bamboo that grows in Jamaica.

Since then OBF has carved out a distinct market niche for its products in Jamaica and internationally. Many homes, hotels and restaurants have our furniture and other products and new orders from past customers now form a large part of our business. The key to our success is the production of high quality products with stylish and unique designs and providing high levels of service to all our clients.

Re: How do WE use Bamboo?

all u haffi do is go into Hobby Lobby, Bath an Beyond an u see wat bamboo being used fah...even target had di bamboo gazebo lass summa..is di latest fad...bamboo....even walmart ha bamboo cutting boards...

[Tropicana]

Re: How do WE use Bamboo?

Yes Evanovitch. I have seen the cutting boards. In fact, in Japan I even saw placemats made out of Bamboo that looked like cutting boards and coasters made out of bamboo. It is very versatile and I think we should make a sustained effort to grow more of it and export more bamboo products. The world is recognizing the advantages of bamboo and maybe here is an opportunity for us to generate some badly needed foreign exchange.

Re: How do WE use Bamboo?

so wat is the market share for bamboo products...

[Tropicana]

Re: How do WE use Bamboo?

Not sure. I would have to research it. I just know that I see it used all over South East Asia in a variety of ways but never did I see such a range of uses for it as in Japan. The Japanese already pay top dollar for our Blue Mountain coffee and pay a premium price for it before it even goes into the ground. Maybe this is another business opportunity for us.

Hmm this gives me an idea for another thread.
