Message from CEO

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the revamped Kitil Farm website. It is indeed an honor to share with you our strategic initiatives in support of a greener mother earth and an amazing economic development perspective using bamboo.
   

Bamboo - nicknamed the wonder plant - is the strongest and fastest growing woody plant on earth, and supplies a global trade worth an estimated US$2 billion per year. The lion's share is earned by Asian countries, whose bamboo-based industries span a vast range from paper making and scaffolding to luxury flooring and foods.

Bamboo has an immense potentiality. Indeed, there are at least 1500 recorded uses of bamboo. The important usages are mainly in paper industry, building material, tiny and cottage industries, handicrafts, medicinal products, edible shoots and new generation products such as wood substitutes, truck bodies, railway carriages, bamboo boards, tiles etc. Competition for timber is getting tougher, trees resources are becoming scarce and opportunities to plant are more limited. Go-Bamboo as an alternative to traditional timber. It’s a renewable resource, it mature in 3-4 years and it has 1500 recorded uses and benefits. We sell bamboo plantlets and seedlings to any destination in the world. We have millions of seedlings.
