Initial groundworks finished
Our bamboo treatment tank will measure 13 meters long by 2,5 meters wide and 1,5 meter deep. That’s about 48 cubic meters, enough for a production capacity of 3 x 40ft HC containers a month.
The greenhouse will be build on 4 terraces and covers a total area of 520 square meter (10 meters wide by 52 meters long). The estimated production capacity is set to an initial 20.000 bamboo plants per month.
New roads will connect all the different facilities in order for trucks to load and unload bamboo poles and plants.
