Giant bamboo in Thailand is not only intriguing to the people in the country but also from abroad, especially it brings high profit.

This giant bamboo is located in Naga Sen 's plantation , 37 years old, in Tha Wang Pha district, Nan province, northern Thailand. Each bamboo stem has a diameter of more than 35cm and when it grows into a pineapple wall, all 10 people embrace it.

Moreover, the fresh bamboo shoots are equally big and also sell very well, about 50 baht (equivalent to 32,000 VND) per kilogram. Otherwise you can wait for big bamboo for 3-5 years and then use slack to close the cabinet.

Thanks to this new bamboo, the revenue and profit of farmers in the bamboo growing area increase to 90% per year.

Moreover, if the amount of exploited bamboo is sold all year round, each household can collect nearly 2 million baht (equivalent to 1.27 billion VND). Therefore, the bamboo farming industry has been increased and replicated throughout the area and received encouragement and support from the Ministry of Agriculture Development and Extension in Central South Thailand.
