One such hub will be established in Maramag, Bukidnon and another in Pangasinan next year. Exact locations are yet to be determined.
The latest hub was launched in Maragondon, Cavite, early this month, while the first two were located in Naguilian, La Union and Cauayan, Isabela.
Bamboo fibres could be used for clothing and home textile. For nonwovens, this could be used for shoes, bags and acoustic insulation, Leano said.
Such hubs enable communities to process bamboo into raw bamboo textile fibre (BTF) and make it ready for textile processing, he said.
"The technologies are simple, deployable, and scalable. The machines can also be fabricated locally for more massive and extensive deployment," Leano was quoted as saying by a news agency.
The BTFIH Cavite would ensure that bamboo textile fibres would be available for subsequent processes to produce textiles.
