6 Multi-stakeholder Consultation Workshop
Attention: Vietnamese cuts bamboo from inner to outer-clump But Lao villagers do not My question is, who harvests correctly?
7 Multi-stakeholder Consultation Workshop
The crisis of factory (Vongthone & HiaHane)
Initially HiaHane ordered purchase rough cut nan 48 cm upward
Second order purchase was 65 cm upward (unable to supply for HiaHane)
One culm is 10 m length, if ordered 65 cm upward uses luxuriously materials
Bamboo price is declining from Thailand, HiaHane cannot buy from BounChanh at 6,180
LKIP/kg or 14 Bath/kg since Bounchanh bought 5,000 LKIP/kg from Vongthone. Hence,
Vongthone sold out to Vietnam at 17,000 Dong/kg or 6,400 LKIP/kg

11 Multi-stakeholder Consultation Workshop
Constraints The key constraint of the bamboo sector in Houaphanh province is under-commercialization.
Villagers Traders
• Villager is busy during farming period March – June and August – November because the main constraint is competition with other farming activities
• Trader introduces low price • Villager is not initiative, waiting
others success than follow • Villagers have low bargaining
capacity • Bamboo is lower income comparing
with other crops • Short-term income
• Villager does not rely on contract • There is insufficient raw materials
supplying to factory • Factory operates full capacity less than
four months a year because villagers are available in December, February and July. During this period of time they can cut bamboo stems feeding factories
• Lao worker is lower quality and not professional one
• Do not have permanent workers • Quota permit is time consuming • Complexity of inspection procedure is
costly which lead to higher cost of production and raw materials
• Investors are not sure about investment policy, it does not support seriously
12 Multi-stakeholder Consultation Workshop
Key interventions
• Forest management should be prioritized at villages belongs to factories and allocate bamboo forest area to each household to harvest and maintain sustainably by themselves
• Harvesting group has to formulate in order to rotate family labour cutting bamboo culms to factories continuingly
• Establish bamboo saving by collect tax fees from household who have been allocated bamboo
• Provide related information about short and long term benefit from bamboo
• Strengthen villagers on negotiation skills
• The factory could have a field animator to mobilise communities cutting bamboo
• If possible, village assembler could be formulated voluntary by local people with clear role and equally share benefit
• In long term, bamboo plantation could be started from now at factory to avoid shortage of raw materials. Since government shifts and empower private sector leads extension work
• Build trust between traders and villagers through good partnership
• Advocate traders be honest on pricing scheme development with beneficiaries
• Visit Vietnamese bamboo sector for experience exchange
• Identify role to whom will be a watchdog to follow up and support bamboo enterprise seriously
• Review policies that can be applicable and develop policy from the gaps for real use
• Develop bamboo harvesting guideline for community and factory
• reduce quota levy in order to increase price for farmer
• Perhaps, government could consider the bamboo as a commercial item independently excluding from NTFPs
• One Stop Shop is an initiative policy to assist new emergence of small enterprise for increasing incentive to investors and traders
To village level To enterprise side To government
