Specific Market Niche & Relevant Market Value
• Large & growing global market for industrial bamboo products (2006 – USD 10 billion; 10 yr forecast – up to USD 20 billion)
• In Ethiopia:- Bamboo sector mainly farmers and urban cottage industries (500
urban micro entrepreneurs producing furniture and handicrafts for domestic market)
- 2 bamboo manufacturing plant in Addis Ababa (producing value-added products such as bamboo-based boards for flooring and furniture; USD 38 per sq. meter)
- Wood processing factories are starting to diversify into bamboo production
- WSB and ABC – 3rd generation of laminate bamboo conquering the world market – zero processing waste with 12-15% saw dust production – variable uses from indoor furnishing to outdoor applications – market offers huge potential to Ethiopia
Problems Identified in the Supply Chain
• No concrete system established to strongly link bamboo raw materials and finished products to markets
• Lack of up-to-date database on the nature, volume and location of products that would serve the marketing of products
• No information on the nature and pattern of demand, location of markets and their character tics to guide products
• Practice of grading raw materials is very weak with no standards available• Lack of standards leads t difficulty in comparing raw material and finished
products for quality and pricing purposes – hindrance to penetrate international market
• Little experience in mass propagation by farmers (except at EABP sites)• Traditional marketing: market system is not broad based and integrated over
geographic location, sales points and customers, etc. • Varying prices and quality of products – no proper correlation between quality of
raw materials and revenue generated• Near-source pre-processing centres are non-existent – expensive & inefficient
transportation of culms to cities – low resource utility • Formation of associations facilitates the supply and grading of raw materials ,
pre-processing and manufacturing, common practice in EABP target sites which needs to be replicated in other areas.
Intervention Points• Economic potential of Ethiopia’s bamboo sector remains largely untapped
due to undeveloped value chains• Value chain development approach leads to greater production efficiency,
value addition at each link of the value chain, and price/quality competitiveness
• Value chain approach entails adaptation of appropriate technologies, production techniques, and organizational strategies
• Establishment of facilities at strategic regional locations to build up the industrial capacity and improve the supply chain
• Strengthening existing centre to serve as a hub and showcase bamboo industrial applications
These steps will significantly contribute to uplifting the economic conditions of disadvantaged groups and result in an overall development of the industrial sector.
Bamboo– the fastest growing plant in the world
The highest growth 1.21m/24hours
The highest bamboo
Up to 40 m in height and 30 cm in diameter in 2-3 months
There more than 1500 uses
High density bamboo fiber board
Bamboo pulp and paper making
Bamboo fiber & fabric
Bamboo beer, medicine
Bamboo juice/essence
Innovative bamboo-based panel for flooring, container board, train/truck floor, furniture
Clinton’s library was opened 2004, its 15,000 m2 bamboo flooring
Bamboo floor in Hilton Hotel Addis
Laminated bamboo kitchen items
Over 230,000 m2 bamboo fire-proof ceiling is been using in Madrid International airport, Spain. The bamboo ceiling fits the highest European fire protection standard-M1 and consists of 5 layers of bamboo veneer. The invention on bamboo fire-proof products will promote bamboo utilization in many areas.

Bamboo scaffolding in Hong Kong up to 40 stories in height
Anji is a mountainous county. It was poor. After 25 years rapid bamboo development, the annual bamboo output is 450 mil US$, 60% farmers income comes from bamboo sector, and benefit from bamboo plantation and bamboo industry, they get richer and richer

• Partners aligned and harmonized –FeMSEDA, UNIDO, MoARD, MoTI, INBAR, NGO’s, etc
• Private sector involvement increasing,
• Low absorption capacity easily implemented
• Lean project administration and use of existing staff is possible
What Partners can do
• Training and workshop
• Technology transfer
• Projects
• Information
• Marketing
• Consultancy
• Establishment of bamboo center with China
What you and your organization can do
• Joining our efforts to promote Ethiopian bamboo development
• Funding and co-funding for bamboo training, workshop, project and other activities.
• Marketing bamboo products
• Promoting investment in bamboo sector
Bamboo in China 4.8 mil ha bamboo forest
60 billion birr output700 million US$ export value
• Bamboo in Ethiopia• 1 million ha area, 67% of total Africa bamboo area• Big potential of bamboo development, increasing
130 birr/person/year• Future products:charcoal, curtain, concrete
form,pulp,panels,housing,eco-tourism…• Cooperate with INBAR,CFC,
China,UNIDO,Bamboo enterprises…
The suggested Ethiopian bamboo development areas for your consideration :
Cultivation and ecological environment: New economic important bamboo species introduction (Bamboo and rattan botanic garden in Addis Ababa); Bamboo for garden and landscape; Bamboo planting to prevent and mitigate land degradation; Bamboo’s contribution to CO2 sequestration and Carbon trade;
To substitute bamboo for wood to reduce Ethiopian wood consumption and protect the fast shrinking forest cover. New technology and environment-friendly products: Bamboo charcoal production to supply fuel/export/active charcoal; Bamboo biogas generator (bioenergy, clean and sanitary environment, compost). Industrial products: Bamboo curtain production (export and domestic market); Bamboo concrete form (>15 times use, 2.44*1.22m2); Bamboo medium/high-density board; Bamboo pulp and paper making.
Rural development and livelihood:
Bamboo shoot for food (fresh, canned and dry shoot);
Bamboo scaffolding for construction;
Bamboo furniture;
Bamboo handicrafts;
Bamboo housing for rural area.
Policy and investment:
Ethiopian national bamboo development plan 2005-2015;
Bamboo micro and small enterprise development;
Transfer Chinese bamboo industrial technology to Ethiopia;
How to attract investor to develop bamboo industry;
Ethiopia delegation to China;
Chinese bamboo enterpriser delegation to Ethiopia;
Giving farmers land use right.
