27 Bamboo Resource Global: total forest area is 2239 million ha, in which million ha is covered by bamboo. : 5.4 million ha bamboo resources. Substitution to wood: bamboo has been widely used in. The consumed amount in each year is equivalent to 10 million m 3 wood, which is almost 1/5 of the annual logging production. Bamboo has high mechanical properties and is a good material for the production of composite panels. has become the biggest production base of bamboo products.

39 Wood Industry Summary 1. Wood industry in has developed rapidly. However there are problems in technology, equipments, and small production capacity. 2. There are a variety of wood-based panels in the market, but high value-added products are urgently demanded. 3. Production of wood-based panels is unevenly distributed in. 4. Bamboo-based composite has become a new member in the wood industry family and grown up rapidly.
