摘要

在國民生活與對外貿易中，本省各主要竹種中孟宗竹最具重要性，桂竹及麻竹居次，故本丈以此等三竹種作為研討之對象。在1975至1979之五年間，竹桿、竹筍及其加工製品之生產增加快速，其出口值自4,300萬美元增至11,600萬美元，年增加率達55%。各種竹額外銷80餘國，在對外貿易中佔有相當席地。竹類產品及其加工製品在我日今日的林產物中，貫已據有僅次於木材的地位。竹類以各種方式主授農業生產，其中最具重要性的幾項如作洋菇生產中結舍及菇床之建材，供作果樹支挂，供作蔬菜支架及牡蠣養殖之抨柱。依韻竹類生產的農業物價值每年高達20,000萬美元。本項研究同時研討竹類生產及利用之演化過程。其始自直接、粗放，進而為經濟，有教且集約的利用發展，開發了許多優良產品，使竹材加工工業深兵發展潛力。為求配合竹類及其相關生產物加工利用之發展，各項試驗研究亦在各處持續進行蒼，其中包括產量分析，竹產物性質之探詞，加工方法及有效利用方式之研究等等。集成竹材為研究成果立一例，目前已將其生產技術之改良及如何大量生產訂為今後努力的方向。

The r e are six major bamboo species in Taiwan. among them. makino bamboo is the most important one. moso bamboo and thorny bamboo the next. From 1975 to 1979. production of bamboo culms. bamboo shoot and their products increased significantly. The export value increased about 2.7 times, i. e. from 43 million U. S. dollars to 116 million U.S. dollars. The annual increasing rate was about 55% during, that period. Various products were exported to more than 80 countries and rendered a great gain to the foreign trade. Bamboo and its products have been now as the next important forest products besides timber in forestry in the Republic of China. Bamboo backed up agricultural production in several ways. Firstly. bamboo culms used for construction of 13.000 mushroom culture-sheds annually. Secondly, culms used for fruit tree supporting poles. such as banana. pear and apple supporting poles. Thirdly, bamboo was used for vegetable upholder and oyster raising sticks. The production value of the agricultural crops which backed by bamboo culms was morethan 200 million U. S. dollars. Therefore. bamboo has been one of the important materials in supporting agricultural production. This study also has reported the development of bamboo production and utilization. At the beginning, bamboo cuIms had been used extensively and directly. During the past decade, improvements were made. and which caused more intensive utilization of bamboo. At present time, the use of bamboo has been much more economical. As a result, more diversified products have been made. The new products are: plybamboo, weaving bamboo board. bamboo tray. bamboo blind, bamboo sports sword, laminated bamboo furniture. tennis racket and various handicrafts. Accordingly, the industry of bamboo products has a great potential in -the future. Besides, the bamboo processing industry is very suitable to be developed in the rural areas. With a view to match, the development of production and utilization of bamboo and bamboo related products. many researches were carried out during recent 10 years in Taiwan. The quantitative analyses, properties, processing and more efficient utilization of bamboo were carried out from different viewpoints. Development of laminated bamboo was one of the examples of successful studies. Its advanced studies continued and aimed at improving the manufacturing techniques of laminated bamboo furniture and enter its production into mass production phase.
