By the end of 2020, the total output value of China's bamboo industry was nearly 320 billion yuan, and the total import and export trade volume of bamboo products were 2.2 billion US dollars, accounting for more than 60% of the world's total trade volume of bamboo products, ranking first in the world. From environmentally friendly lunch boxes to high-speed rail floors, small bamboos can also play a big role in reducing carbon emissions. Fu Jinhe, Director of the Host Country Affairs Department of the International Bamboo and Rattan Organization, said that from scientific research results to corporate practices, to national actions and global initiatives, China, as a responsible major country, will fully tap the value of bamboo and contribute to global green development.
