Alex,
Have you tried contacting INBAR. If anyone has access to the sort of information that you are seeking it's likely that they have.
Just Goggling ''sources of data on bamboo" comes up with the following paper at ftp://ftp.fao.org/docrep/fao/010/a1243e/a1243e00.pdf and a lot more leads to explore.

Subject: [bamboo-plantations] Bamboo!
Hello all,
I hope you are well. I am currently working with a company in Bali that specializes in bamboo architectural design and construction and was wondering if you have any sources of data on bamboo (either worldwide or just within Indonesia). Also, do you know where I can procure GIS data on bamboo or Indonesian deforestation? Any help you might be able to offer is welcome and I am eager to get any information I can get my hands on!
Thank you very much for your time.
Best,
Alex
