The top bamboo products exported were furniture, crafts, tableware sun shade umbrellas and screens and the main markets were the EU (40%) US (23%) and ASEAN (10%).
The main reason for the increase in bamboo product exports is due to diversification into new markets in Southeast Asia, Russia and Africa and consolidation in traditional European and American markets. In addition enterprises have strengthened technological innovation and invested in research and development for new products.
The inspection and quarantine departments of Lishui city have helped by expediting inspection and supervision procedures to accelerate customs clearance. This agency also guides enterprises on quality and safety control systems and on strengthening factory supervision to ensure the quality and safety of bamboo products.
