NewsChinese Bamboo Industry Inspires Worldwide
Share in INBAR’s recent Sino-Africa exchange trip to Sichuan and Zhejiang, and see what bamboo can do.
One of INBAR’s most important objectives is to facilitate South-South and bilateral collaboration between member states. To this end, in November the Director of INBAR’s Addis Ababa Office, Dr. Fu Jinhe, led a group of 15 Ethiopian experts and government officials on a study tour to the Chinese provinces of Zhejiang and Sichuan. Over seven days, the group visited factories, plantations, showrooms, universities and more to understand the bamboo value chain at every stage.
China is INBAR’s host country, but more than that, it has the world’s most developed bamboo industry, with a well developed market for hi-tech sustainable products employing millions of people. The tour was an opportunity for knowledge exchange, networking and study, but also a great chance to get inspired – and to transmit this inspiration even further, we are sharing some pictures of their trip here.
