Subject: [bamboo-plantations ] Plantation of Asian (and South American?) Bamboo in the South of Mozambique

Hi,

together with the population of o Southern Mozambican village, a group

of German voluntaries wants to begin a bamboo project in this region.

We want to forest several bamboo species, including Asian (and South

American?) species in a kind of pilot project. Laterthen, we want to

begin a project in the North of Mozambique, near the Tanzanian border.

The aim of the pilot project is to manufacture buiding material for

economic standard houses, furniture, and small house and kitchen

utilities. For this, we want to forest bamboo of different qualities

in an economic way. We also want to use bamboo shoots as a nutritient.

Laterthen, after handcraft and nutritional instruction, we want to

install small industrial projects for export articles. The idea is to

help this village in a complete development, including gender

projects, alphabetization, nutritional and sanitary development, etc.

It is not the idea to export bamboo as raw material for industries in

other countries.

My questions are:

Are there systematic experiences with bamboo forestry in Africa ?

In which countries or climatic regions?

Does anybody have experience with the systematic introduction of

bamboo as nutricient and/or medical application in Africa?

Are there currently similar projects in Africa?

A big hug

Michael.

Gibt es in Afrika bereits systematische Erfahrung mit Aufforstung von

Bambus, und wenn ja, in welchen Ländern bzw. Klimazonen? Ist dort

Erfahrung gemacht worden mit systematischer Einführung von

Bambusschösslingen in die Ernährung der Bevölkerung?
