Abstract: The front-end chain of bamboo industry included cutting, shaving, bundling and transit transportation, which were the source links of the whole bamboo industry. The insufficient mechanization of front-end industry limited the large-scale development of bamboo industry in Hilly and mountainous areas. The shortcomings were revealed for bamboo industry by analyzing the current situation and demand of mechanization of front-end chains. In order to reduce the labor intensity and improve the operation efficiency, it was proposed to take mechanical research and development, establish standardized forest farms and explore new modes as the breakthrough points, which was the development trend of the whole process mechanization of bamboo industry.
