Investing in bamboo

Why are we investing in bamboo?

Our mission is to provide the European industry with European low-footprint bamboo. Europe is, after China, the largest bamboo market but lacks the base material. Bamboo products are imported from other continents with all the negative impact and supply uncertainty going along with it.
The versatility of bamboo offers chances in numerous sectors and gives a boost to sustainable economic development and job creation. The demand for local grown bamboo is exceeding the supply. Investing in bamboo generates stable long-term returns. We are only at the beginning of this unlocking sector.

Bamboo for climate and nature
By planting bamboo we are taking a lot of CO2 out of the air and regenerate degraded land. According to EUSO more than 60% of European soils is in unhealthy state. Bamboo has the ability to make soils healthy again. It is a pesticide free crop and in managed bamboo forests no tillage is applied. The extensive root system prevents erosion and retains a lot of water in the soil. The year-round leaf fall ensures a thick humuslayer, a true playground for insects and small animals. Over the years the nutrient level and organic matter content rises and a healthy ecosystem can evolve.

Make impact & share in the profit

Investing in bamboo in Europe requires the biggest financial effort in the beginning. But since bamboo only has to be planted once for the next 60 to 100 years, it offers attractive long-term returns.
The demand for european bamboo is growing exponentially. Our demand for bamboo exceeds the current supply many times.

After planting, stable revenues can be expected from year 7.

Investments are needed mainly to acquire land, plant material and foresee field infrastructure as water facilities, solar panel installations and field equipment & processing machinery.
