Though bamboo shoots have become the polar industry of Sichuan and other places in China, there are still many problems concerning the processing and utilization of bamboo shoots. This paper conducts a clear exposition of China's rich bamboo shoots resources and problems existing in processing and trading of bamboo shoots.
