Our bamboo comes from the award-winning holiday region, Anji (China). The bamboo, which grows in Anji is better and more expensive than bamboo from southern tropical areas...
The region is similar to our middle European mountain areas. Anji is a beautiful mountain area with forests, streams and apartments for tourists. A very well maintained landscape with small villages and bamboo farmers. The processing industry is concentrated in the valley. Everything is close to each other. It's climate is like south of the alps. In the summer warmer and humid, but also with snow in the winter and you can go skiing.
The bamboo, which grows in Anji is better and more expensive than bamboo from southern tropical areas. Also the processing industry is controlled, very strongly by the authorities since Anji has the status of an award-winning holiday region (similar to a nature protection area).
