Each year, the tree only gives one harvest, lasting from January to March of the lunar calendar. In early February, the flowers are at their peak, giving the best yield and quality. This is also the time when the weather is favorable for going to the forest, so many people go to pick them.

Thus, when the forest bamboo is in season, many ethnic minority workers in Hong Ha have extra work and income to support their lives.

Ms. Ho Thi Ven (Ta Oi ethnic group) in A Rong village, Lia commune, Huong Hoa district - a worker drying bamboo shoots at Lao Bao town stadium said: "Because my leg hurts, I can't go to the forest to pick bamboo shoots, so I come here to dry bamboo shoots for hire for the shop owner. For each working day, the shop owner pays me 250,000 VND".

The bamboo is the main raw material for making cleaning brooms and paint brushes for construction, so there is a large consumer market. To meet the demand, shop owners collect bamboo from ethnic minority villages living in the Truong Son mountain range of our country. Shop owners also go to Laos to buy bamboo. Bamboo is gathered from hundreds of directions in Lao Bao town. Taking advantage of dry days, at the stadium, empty lots are used to dry bamboo.

In the Truong Son range, there are many types of secondary forest products that contribute to poverty reduction for ethnic minorities. The palm tree is a typical example, however, it is time for us to have a longer-term view, not just relying on natural forest products, seasonal exploitation to be able to have a sustainable prosperous life, because any resource that is exploited to the fullest... will eventually be exhausted.

Therefore, it is also necessary to have a direction to protect and cultivate the bamboo. Furthermore, it is necessary to soon have projects to create livelihoods for the people, such as planting bamboo to create a stable source of income for ethnic minorities in the Eastern Truong Son.
