DAVAO CITY — This year’s Davao Agri-Trade Expo will promote the planting of so-called “golden crops,” which include cacao, coffee, coconut, corn, cassava, rice, banana, as well as bamboo.
“The reason we included bamboo is because it is an emerging crop and it is very easy to grow and it can grow in the hinterlands,” said John Carlo B. Tria, chair of the 2018 expo, which is set for Sept. 20-22.
Mr. Tria said while bamboo is mainly grown for use as a building material, furniture, crafts, and fiber, the organization aims to promote it as well for food.
