Project: Establishment of Bamboo Bazaar

(Under the Annual Action Plan 2018-2019 of BTSG – KFRI)

Background:

One of the components in the Guidelines is the promotion and development of infrastructure for bamboo market. This includes establishing Bamboo Bazaars which is ideal for supplementing the activities envisaged at the Bamboo Primary Processing Centre established at FRC Palapilly under earlier AAP of BTSG –KFRI where artisans utilize the facilities and also during training programmes that are conducted, bamboo products are made which can be sold to public through a Bamboo Bazar.

Objectives:
  1. Develop market strategy and marketing of Bamboo products produced by the clusters.

  3. To showcase products at conventional spaces across the state and various websites.
