The bamboo economy in Arunachal Pradesh plays a significant role in the state's socio-economic development.
Arunachal Pradesh, located in the northeastern part of India, is home to abundant bamboo species, making it one of the largest bamboo-growing regions in the country.
Bamboo is also an integral part of the state's cultural heritage. The local tribes use bamboo for traditional rituals, festivals and practices, which makes bamboo an important element in tourism experiences.
While the bamboo sector has immense potential, there are challenges such as lack of modern technology for bamboo processing, inadequate infrastructure and limited access to markets.
Also, there is a need for better integration of traditional knowledge with modern industrial practices.
