Abstract：The present situation of bamboo resource management and its potentials for increasing production in China are studied using literature review and questionnaire survey. The results show that the research and utilization of bamboo species are not sufficiently conducted in China. There are about 60 bamboo species reported in the literature, less than 10% of the total bamboo species, and moso bamboo is the main species. The proportion of low-yield and low-efficiency forest to the total bamboo forest is 45.8%, and therefore strengthening bamboo forest management can significantly improve the productivity of bamboo forests. The cost occurred in bamboo forest management is high, accounting for 40%-78% of the income produced by the management, which is an important factor restricting the bamboo forest management. Since 1973, the area of bamboo forest has increased at an annual rate of about 2.7%, which brings great potentials for increasing production. The paper suggests that the research and utilization of characteristic bamboo species should be boosted, the management level of bamboo forest should be improved while the cost should be reduced, and the supply capacity of bamboo resources should be enhanced, so as to better support the healthy development of bamboo industry.
