埃塞俄比亚竹产业现状与发展机遇

埃塞俄比亚竹资源丰富，有竹林面积147万多hm²，约占全球竹林总面积的5%、非洲竹林总面积的40%。埃塞俄比亚的竹制品加工以传统作坊加工为主，工厂化生产仍处于起步阶段；竹产业发展面临着竹林缺乏经营、市场发育不良、竹产业链不完善、科研和技术推广薄弱等问题。在国际竹藤组织多年的协调努力下，特别是“中非竹子中心”的成立，埃塞俄比亚的竹产业发展迎来了前所未有的机遇。埃塞俄比亚竹资源丰富，劳动力成本低，适合发展劳动密集型的竹产业，竹制品市场需求大，同时有着良好的投资政策。因此，建议企业和投资者到埃塞俄比亚投资建厂，发展竹产业。

Current Status and Development Opportunities of Bamboo Industry in Ethiopia

Ethiopia has abundant bamboo resources, and owns more than 1.47 million ha of bamboo forest, which take up 5% of the global bamboo forest area and 40% of the African bamboo forest area. Bamboo industry is still in its infancy in Ethiopia, which still adopts the traditional way to process bamboo products, and bamboo industry is encountered with a series of problems, such as lack of bamboo stand management, low level of market development, incomplete bamboo production chain and slow development in science & technology and technical extension. Under the coordination and efforts of International Bamboo and Rattan Organization, especially after the establishment of "China-African Bamboo Center", the bamboo industry in Ethiopia is embraced with the unprecedented development opportunity. Its rich bamboo resources and low labor costs create the foundation for the labor-intensive bamboo industry, and its huge market demand for bamboo products and the beneficial investment policies implemented embody the opportunity for investment. Hence, enterprises and investors are suggested to invest in Ethiopia for bamboo industry.
