The importance of bamboo to the world economy and its people is enormous.
Over 2.5 bn people live in association with bamboo and the annual usage
worldwide is billions of US dollars. Global and national trade in bamboo and
bamboo products is also growing annually at the rate of 15-20%.
The potential of bamboo to help fuel rural, economic and industrial
development has been bolstered by the triennial International Bamboo
Workshops and Congresses. These events have contributed substantially to the
development of the bamboo sector throughout the world and have raised the
profile of bamboo amongst people, governments and institutions. These events
have also encouraged global interaction through improved networking and
sharing of ideas.
This was recognised on World Environment Day in 1999 by the Indian Prime
Minister who announced a significant new initiative, committing the
government to a major development of the bamboo sector. Indeed, with an
established industrial base and a consumptive market in place, there is no
reason why bamboo cannot leverage itself into a position of strength in
India or any other bamboo growing country. It is for this reason that the
VII World Bamboo Congress is being held in India with the theme "Bamboo for
Integrated Development".
