Bukidnon Giant Bamboo Resources Corporation (BGB) leads the bamboo industrialization of the country as a sustainable and inclusive business enterprise producing durable building materials and other products derived from bamboo.  

BGB works with stakeholders, especially with the Indigenous People of Mindanao to propagate bamboo as a source of livelihood, food, shelter and climate risk mitigation, and in the process build more resilient communities, eradicate poverty and temper the ill-effects of global warming and climate change.

Giant bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper) is among the largest member of the grass family.  It can grow 1 meter per day and reach maximum height in just 30 days.  Its individual poles mature for harvesting in just 3-4 years.  In contrast, hardwood trees take decades to mature and require replanting once cut.  With its rapid growth, Giant Bamboo absorbs large quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere to build its massive poles and extensive rhizome system, while shedding tons of leaves, building up organic matter into the soil and breathing out oxygen (O2) into the air.  Its root system rejuvenates the soil, improve water-holding capacity, and prevent erosion and landslide.  

When dried and processed correctly, Giant Bamboo is incredibly strong yet lightweight compared to wood and steel.  It also has the compressive strength of concrete.  BGB leverages these superior characteristics of Giant Bamboo to produce quality durable building materials, furnitures and fixtures.
