description This research note focuses on strengthening the supply chain of bamboo resources in Bukidnon, emphasizing the identified key players and their respective roles. Bamboo is a valuable and sustainable resource with significant economic, social, and environmental benefits. However, the existing supply chain in Bukidnon faces challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, limited value addition, and a lack of market linkages. This study outlines key strategies and interventions to address these challenges and promote a vibrant bamboo industry. The methods involve a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the bamboo supply chain in Bukidnon, including a review of existing literature, consultations with industry experts, and case studies from successful bamboo industries in other provinces. The study recommends several strategies for strengthening the bamboo supply chain. First, enhancing bamboo production through sustainable cultivation practices, providing technical assistance to farmers, and adopting modern techniques are crucial. Second, promoting responsible harvesting practices and regrowth management through training programs can ensure the long-term sustainability of bamboo resources. Third, improving processing and value addition by investing in modern facilities and equipment can enhance competitiveness and quality. Lastly, establishing effective market linkages through trade fairs, networking events, and online marketplaces will connect producers with buyers, foster collaboration, and open up new market opportunities. The study concludes that a strengthened supply chain will contribute to economic growth, enhance the competitiveness of Bukidnon's bamboo industry, and generate higher economic returns. Moreover, establishing effective market linkages will facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration, leading to domestic and international market expansion.
