Nurseries and Plantations
The bamboo industry is more than just products produced using the material; there are other industries that are required to support the manufacturing process. To start up any industrial manufacturing facility you have to ensure that the resource is large enough to support the industry. This means that jobs and potential income can be generated through the propagation of bamboo, in organized stands and plantations as well as in nurseries. This creates jobs for laborers, as well as forestry experts and plantation managers. The nurseries can be developed to support the plantations with material, but also in propagating ornamental bamboo, sold for interior décor as well as landscaping. There are many exotic and highly valued ornamental bamboos, like the black bamboo, and this business could be lucrative for anyone who has the knowledge and training in the propagation of these species.
