Joining INBAR

If your country has bamboo and rattan resources, you will join a network of like-minded Member States where you can learn from others’ experience in developing their bamboo and rattan sector, tapping regional and global markets, applying innovative bamboo and rattan business models and value chains, technology development and more.

If your country produces or consumes bamboo and rattan products, INBAR membership brings closer links to the world’s producers, and provides advice and support on issues such as trade and standards. As INBAR’s new strategy develops, a wealth of new information is becoming available to Member States, including: training and technical materials, studies and surveys, links to innovations in other Member States, business models and value chain packages, policy options, and links to the expertise of others. Please refer to the establishment agreement of INBAR [CN] [EN] [FR] [SP] and the procedures for joining [EN] [ES] [FR] for more information.
