Anyone??? doing research on this too. I read somewhere in the net that some guy is growing seedlings in Kajiado. Looking forward to visiting him. The uses for Bamboo are many and varied but info is scarce in Kenya. Also researching on this. Called the Kajiado guy (Kitili Farm) but had issues in communication so intend to go to the farm and check it out. Some info: Organic Farmer Magazine - Bamboo in Kenya Kefri on Bamboo Hortinews on Bamboo PDF Bamboo resources After research, did you follow it with action? How is the going? I want to get into this. Is there a ready market? With so much real estate going on, is there anyone processing bamboo to usable items? Anyone with info on Bamboo farming? Visit Kefri Muthaiga. I visited Kitil in 2013 and didn't like them. They actually have more eucalyptus than bamboo but specialize ib selling bamboo seedlings

Based on your locality, you can visit KFS nurseries for advice and local tree nurseries. "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least." Goethe

For example, for this year, KG of macadamia was going for 150 shillings and one could harvest around 50-100kgs depending on the tree. An acre can hold more than 100 trees. Do the maths And Maragwa has one of the best macadamia trees and the main processors are located those sides
