I have a bamboo grove. It is a very small grove, about 5 acres. I can sell the bamboo as material every year. But in this way, I can not make the most money out of these bamboos. So, I want to set up a small factory of my own to produce bamboo products. I don't have too much money, about 30 thousand US dollars. Therefore, the factory is sure very small. I know that once the factory is set up, I will not have enough bamboos to carry on the production process. But I can buy bamboos from the villagers. So, there comes the problem. I don't want to take risk. I want to earn money not lose money. So, the product is very important. If I can not sell out the product, I will lose money or maybe go bankrupt. What product(s) should I make out of the bamboos, cooked bamboo shoots, bamboo curtains, bamboo floors, bamboo handicrafts, or something else? And where can I get information about bamboo and bamboo products and bamboo marketing? I have searched for a long time on Google. All I get are ads of bamboo products.

Its a good idea to start a small business and bamboo craft are i think the better product coz bamboo are a very valuable product.
Why don't you start an online store. Promote your bamboo product and sell it online or maybe sell it on ebay...
I'm thinking of setup my own bamboo craft online store..... But still in r&d... hope that can open the online store soon....

Yeath, I have think about it for some time. The only thing is that I don't know whether bamboo crafts are selling well. Maybe I can first open an online store and practice selling bamboo crafts and find it out gradually which things are prefered. Hope to your online store earlier and we can communicate more often.

I have an idea, why don't you put your bamboo craft product at ebay for 1 t0 3 month and monitor the demand,....
