Why would you want to sell bamboo? That could be the most odd question I've ever seen. Who would buy your excess bamboo?
Why are bamboo sheets so expensive?
Shipping will have nothing to do with the extra cost of bamboo fabric. It will not cost more than shipping cotton from India etc. The expense will either be the cost of making hard bamboo into a soft fabric or the manufacturer capitalizing on the perceived value of the product (charging more because people will pay it).
There is a site claiming that the bamboo fibers are altered so much during the process that it is virtually the same as any other rayon - basically they are using the cellulose fibers in the grass to make a synthetic fabric. This is termed semi natural due to the amount of chemicals used to get it to change from pulp to fabric.
Here you can find all the steps it takes to make rayon and this might explain part of the cost in the Related Links.
In short the cellulose is processed through a number of steps until it is made into fine hairs and then is woven into fabric. It is processed with many different chemicals to get it to form strands and then it is "washed" of chemicals. You are paying for the process of taking wood like grass pulp and chemically turning it into fabric. I have been unable to find any evidence that this is a natural product yet they are playing on this image exploiting the general ignorance of the process of producing fabric from cellulose.
It's not like you take bamboo and pull strings off like string cheese and weave fabric with it. It's more like making paper out of wood and then processing and fermenting the paper in several different batches of chemicals to break it down into really soft fibers and then pushing this through a really fine noodle maker and then washing the noodles to remove the chemicals used to make it hold together yet still be so fine and then weaving that into fabric.
If you like chemicals like lye (drain cleaner) and Carbon disulfide (a harsh solvent for dissolving fats etc. - think nail polish remover type stuff) and want to sleep on fibers processed by these chemicals then bamboo or any other rayon are for you.
