Bamboo has a long and well-established tradition as a craft and building material throughout the world’s tropical and subtropical regions. It is widely used as a material for many forms of products and construction, in particular for traditional art and crafts in rural areas. Bamboo is a renewable and versatile resource, characterized by high strength and low weight, and is easily worked using simple tools. It is widely recognized as one of the most important non-timber forest resources due to the high socio-economic benefits of bamboo based products. It is estimated that there are 1200 species growing in about 14.5 million hectares area. Most of them grow in Asia, Africa and Latin America. And India is the second largest producer of bamboo.
