Processing infrastructure

We helped Amabanda Ltd secure a grant for industrial machinery; cold & hot press, belt sander, circular saw table, thicknesser, and an upgraded drying tunnel, boosting the bamboo supply chain and production capacity.

Supply chain mapping

We also assisted Bijimu Ltd, a member, to map and maintain some bamboo plantations. Several members are benefiting and this will improve raw material capacity and quality for the entire industry.

Smallholder integration

Bamboo Uganda has been instrumental in securing funding for Ekibbo Ltd, a member, to increase their aggregation of farmer produce and trialing bamboo agro forestry in small scale farms.
