| Startup’s Objective | The startup vouches for the sustainable development and utilization of Bamboo resources of Assam and North East India through FSC certification and Industry use. |
| Market Need | Assam is well known for its tremendous Bamboo resource base. Howeever, there is an absence of linkage between the producer (farmers) and the industry. Appropriate farmer training is required for the adaptations of scientific cultivation and management of bamboo as per the FSC Forest Management Plan. Homestead bamboo cultivators in Assam do not use modern inputs such as scientific bamboo management and are engaged in this activity as a supplementary source of household income. This is resulting in a serious lack of interest among farmers to keep homestead bamboo garden and increased depletion of bamboo resources. |
