Start a Bamboo Farm

A bamboo farm, once started, could continue to exist for years and give you some form of residual income. However, starting one needs extensive planning and preparation. Our guide can help you get ready to propagate bamboo commercially. Read on and discover vital information to help you get started.

Bamboos are employed for various uses, perhaps for every article and utility anyone can think of? as an ornament, food, structural support, and material for making items from musical instruments to kitchen utensils.

bamboo farming

It is native to the tropics, but some also tolerate cold climates. To start a bamboo farm, you need space and extensive planning to propagate it commercially. What you spend establishing a bamboo farm will depend on the species you want to raise.

There are more than 1,000 species of bamboo to choose from. Some can be a foot short, while others could grow to more than 100 feet. Your capital outlay will also depend on the state of the land you want to cultivate. You must spend more if it needs additional tilling and soil conditioning.

Land Preparation: Before planting bamboo seedlings, test the condition of your soil, particularly for acidity. Bamboos grow best in slightly acidic soil. It may be that you would need to put in lime to adjust its pH level to the degree most suitable for growing bamboo.

Plantation: You can have bamboo for planting by growing them yourselves from seed, using node cuttings or potted bamboo. Seeds are obtained from outside the U.S. and then grown in greenhouses. Bamboo starter plants, meanwhile, are sold from $25 to more than $100. To ensure the bamboo variety you’ve chosen suits your place’s climate and soil, grow it on a small scale first.

Planting bamboo should follow recommended specifications, particularly about spacing. Some farms use CAD programs and hire computer technicians to measure distances to draw a master plan that includes the quantity and appropriate placement of bamboo groves and irrigation system design.

Maintenance: Bamboo is drought-tolerant and resistant to insects and diseases. But it may be that the variety you are growing needs special care. Learn what specific requirements your plant needs, such as how much water it needs for a given period. Generally, bamboos need watering once or twice weekly in the first few months. Also, think about leaf cutting and pruning as your plantation grows.

Harvesting: Bamboo takes years to grow. It will take about six years to have your first harvest, so you would have to wait that long to earn from your investment. And capital outlays are usually big at the start. After the first commercial harvest, however, cuttings will be done annually and could continue for 50 years, with only maintenance required on your part. An internal rate of return for a bamboo plantation is 31%.

    I have begun a Bamboo farm project that will collect 1,900 metric tons of carbon per year. This project was started for the sole reason of receiving payment for carbon offsets. How do I offer these offsets for sale on the carbon trading markets? Phyllostachys pubescens (Moso Bamboo) was chosen for many reasons including: growth rate, type of soil, topography, temperature, rainfall and others.

Particular to NC we have lost many textile jobs and I was pleasantly surprised that there is a textile component to bamboo. Its great to offer (timber/textiles) I would like more information on type of bamboo that would grow well in my area focusing on timber and textile species, type of equipment needed to plant cultivate and harvest and field layout that would maximize production. Further, if you have any numbers of pounds/tons per acre can be produced by said types as well. I have about 100ac. to plant so let's get this thing started!

Our plan is to buy 10-20 acres in oregon to plant bamboo for timber production and shoot production. I have done a lot of research. But I guess I would like to know if we get this started in the next year or two, can we make enough to sustain our family of four. We would prefer to live on the same land the bamboo is planted on.

  • Will said on October 22, 2010
    I have a project for my university. My project is to propose a bamboo plantation on the banks of the Yumuna river in Agra India. I am working alongside the N.G.O CURE for this trip. My idea was to grow the bamboo to be harvested as a building material and mainly to use the fibres to produce bags to be sold in London, to create a small revenue for the slum population of Agra. Unfortunately I have no idea about the growing, cultivating, harvesting and treatment of bamboo! I would love to talk to anyone about this and see if you have had any success. And if you could you please tell me what sort of bamboo would be ideal for the eventual harvesting for building materials and for the extraction of fibres to make into bags. Any information you might have on equipment needed to harvest. and possibly the equipment that might be needed to process the bamboo into the fibres needed to make bags would be fantastic! This will be a very very small scale operation, with a very limited amount of space to grow and process the bamboo. I hope you can help me, this project is very exciting for me and has the potential to be a great success. Kind regards, Will Pohl, my email is pohl.will@gmail.com, thanks

    outside of Durham, NC. We just started a bamboo farm last week with 3 different groves: Moso, Henon, and Sweetshoot. We chose those varieties for both shoot and pole production, and have several options for revenue streams. We aren't anticipating much harvest until 7-10 years for the Sweetshoot or Henon, and probably 10-15 years for the Moso. We planted 7 plants sized 5'-8' for each grove with swales providing primary irrigation. We will be planting more in the Spring. You can email me for more info: david@brightsidebamboo.com.

  • Raghunath expert adviser said on April 25, 2011

    @O R Maxey, Hello O R Maxey, Well bamboo farming is a flexible source of income. You can harvest bamboo in early summer and spring. One main advantage is no need to replant it every year it will automatically replant from the root. It requires hot weather to grow better. So i think FL/TX has better weather for bamboo farming. Soil moisture is most important, the land should be well drained. The best soil for bamboo is loam soil or marly soil. More information can be found here.
