Really, it will turn around thelives of people. There is going billions of dollars business every year across the globe. It is appreciatable thing that people are trained to add value for bamboo. China is leading with 50% of world trade. If Ugandans understand the concept of Bamboo and its products, they can add some value to their lifes. As a professional consultant promoting Bamboo cultivation in India, we are excited about this news. We in India call bamboo as GREEN GOLD. There are more than 130 species of bamboo. One has to identify some suitable specie for some suitablle job or article. Any how it is great. Making clean and green money. But we should add the plants back to the nature by replanting. From the begining you should start the replanting. If you harvest one hectare you should plant two hectares. Today, it may look funny but after some time you wont find bamboo in the wild to harvest.
