Comments on use types:

Bamboo canes are split open, beaten and flattened by a sun-drying process until they are completely flat and about 15 cm wide. They can then be woven into mats. Shoots are eaten locally or sold for $0.15-$0.2 per kg. In central-southern Laos, wall mats sized 2 m x 3.5 m are worth $1.5 and canes $0.1 per kg.
