[Audio] RESULTS ISSUES ON SUPPLIES CONCERED AGENCY/IES Pricing of bamboo poles as it differs based on the quality standards set by the buyers. Quality standards- DTI- BPS Pricing- DTI DENR- Tarlac Limited number of registered bamboo areas that are ready for harvest as well as the limited bamboo nurseries for bamboo propagules resulting in limited sources of quality bamboo planting materials. DENR- Tarlac Limited species of bamboo for construction. Currently, they only have a supply for Kauayan Tinik, however, they need other species such as Giant Bamboo, Bolo, and Iron Bamboo (imported). Alternative species for Kauayan tinik for construction- FPRDI.

[Audio] RESULTS ISSUES ON HARVESTING CONCERNED AGENCY/IES FPRDI Proper techniques in the selection and harvesting of matured bamboo poles. - Plant layout (harvesting to storage of bamboo for further processing) Harvesting during the rainy season as there is a lack of safety gears and equipment for bamboo cutters/gatherers. Accessibility from harvesting to hauling, including proper waste handling and preliminary preservation techniques. Lack of proper storage facilities and storage techniques after harvesting. Need for protection against high environmental temperatures that cause cracks in the harvested bamboo poles. [email protected] www.fprdi.dost.gov.ph @dostfprdi.

[Audio] RESULTS ISSUES ON PRESERVATION AND DRYING ASSIGNED AGENCY/IES Lack of drying equipment to reach desired moisture content. FPRDI More training in proper preservation techniques as well as access to alternative methods such as sap displacement and use of cheaper chemical preservatives ISSUES ON FINISHING TECHNIQUES ASSIGNED AGENCY/IES FPRDI Additional training in finishing techniques to achieve marblelike and other special effects for bamboo lantern and other handicrafts (special effects finishing techniques). Food grade finishing techniques for bamboo baskets. [email protected] www.fprdi.dost.gov.ph @dostfprdi.

[Audio] RESULTS ISSUES ON MACHINING AND EQUIPMENT ASSIGNED AGENCY/IES High cost of equipment Information of credible suppliers: FPRDI Funding: PSTO- Tarlac, DTI Access to more information on applicable tools and equipment, such as list of credible suppliers. ISSUES ON PRODUCT INNOVATION ASSIGNED AGENCY/IES FPRDI Need for value-adding activities such as bamboo carving for bamboo furniture and waste utilization for handicraft making and charcoal production (for briquettes or bamboo charcoal soap). Product development such as the use of engineered bamboo and utilization of bamboo leaves for tea, and handmade paper. [email protected] www.fprdi.dost.gov.ph @dostfprdi.
