Dear Robert
We are from Brazilian Bamboo Producers Association. The biggest private bamboo plantation is located in Brazil, more than 40.000 hectares. In Pernambuco state and Maranhao State. They use it for paper. I can give you more information, if you need.
All best regards

What's to keep bamboo from becoming a "highly subsidized vested interest" ?
Just wondering, not trying to be contentious !
Thanks

Interesting article.
We need more research about other superior attributes that can make bamboo and rattan more widely respected as a viable alternative to the highly subsidized corn-cotton-timber vested interests..They killed it here in the USA, but proper education and promotion could bring the research back.
Does anyone know where the biggest private bamboo plantation in the world is? I would like to see that.
Interest in this group seems to have gone down, but tough times are just the right time to get prepared for the "bamboo revolution" that could propel sustainable alternatives based upon biomass to market dominance.
