Bamboo Crops in Eastern Cuba |
|
|
Monday, July 6, 2009
Havana.- Agricultural authorities in eastern Santiago de Cuba province are developing bamboo crops to recover areas affected by deforestation.
According to experts, some 400 hectares will be planted with bamboo this year.
They added that bamboo has many economic uses, including the manufacture of furniture and handicrafts, which are highly demanded on the domestic market.
Bamboo can also be used to produce pressed timber and build houses and gastronomic establishments.
The plant is vital in the strategy to reduce the impact of climate change, given its great capacity to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and to cover the damaged soil.
