timeframes capitalizing on their respective locational access advantages
to raw material and/or markets. |

Set up networks
of (a) macro-nurseries for commercially important quality planting materials
and (b) depots for treated raw material, especially bamboo but also other
non-timber natural resources, which will partner with local user communities
