Establishment of bamboo plantations and bamboo nurseries
We have successfully assisted in the establishment of bamboo plantations both locally and internationally. We have two approaches to this.
We also undertake plantations maintenance contracts in which we incorporate training programs like bamboo clump management, pruning, shoots harvesting, stem harvesting, and stem preservation. A contract of this kind runs for 3-6 years. Types of bamboo plantations
