A single bamboo can’t make a forest,
but together, they create sustainability.

OUR BELIEF
MISSION
At Eco Bamboo - East Africa, our mission is to supply high-quality, sustainably sourced bamboo to global markets while empowering local farmers and promoting eco-friendly practices.

Our vision is to become a leading, vertically integrated bamboo enterprise in East Africa, transforming raw bamboo into high-value products for global markets. We strive to build a self-sustaining business model that controls the entire supply chain—from cultivation to processing—while contributing to a greener, more sustainable future.
GOAL
We aim to establish ourselves as a reliable exporter of bamboo poles, slats and chips building strong partnerships with local farmers in E.Africa to ensure a consistent supply. As we grow, we plan to establish demonstrative farms to serve as resource centers for our out-growers, enabling them to adopt best practices in cultivation, improve quality, and enhance sustainability.
