The wall and fibres of this bamboo species are stiff and not suitable for splitting into the smaller strips required for handicrafts, but the cane lasts for up to three years and is very suitable for frame construction poles and for different uses in house construction and roofing, fencing, or for chicken coop walls. Mai Phang is easy to harvest with one person able to gather up to 100 canes per day, but collectors often select clump of four years and older. Canes are split into 10-15 strips (each 2-3 cm wide) then dried in the sun and woven into mats or walls. Shoots are used for local consumption and sold on local markets at $0.15$0.2 per kg.
