Economic Impact

Increased Income per Acre

Expected gross income from the bamboo plantation is 2.5 – 3 lacs per acre. No ordinary crop in this region gives this kind of monetary return to the farmers for their toils. No recurring expenses on implements, seeds and pesticides.

Reduced Effort on Agriculture, Enhanced Quality of Life

After the first harvest of bamboo, the effort required by farmers on the bamboo bushels reduces significantly.

Secured Income for Farmers

Bamboo plantation is analogous to putting money in a fixed deposit. Matured Katang Bamboo bushels are better suited to survive adverse climatic conditions. For example, the presence of a rhizome in the root helps the bamboo bushel preserve some moisture that helps it survive drought conditions.

Converting Nature of Land to Organic Type

From matured bamboo bushels, the land gets enough fallen bamboo leaves which transform into natural mulching, working as organic fertiliser.

Creation of Green Environment

Greens created but, due to cyclic felling – 25% every year, are not destroyed.

Agro-Waste Utilisation

ARTISON will buy agro-waste from the villagers and use it to make briquettes.

Intercropping Model of Agriculture

In between the rows of bamboo, the farmers can plant other herbal crops such as Ashwagandha, Tulsi, etc.

Increased Land Utilisation

Katang bamboo can grow on rugged terrain or on arid lands. Thus, resulting in an increase in gross acres of agricultural land and in generation of additional income.

Employment Generation

5,000 – 6,000 employment creation in 32 village units. Additionally, rural employment generation through bamboo-based value added products.

Low Water Requirement

First harvest bamboo does not need any water from external sources and can therefore survive on its own.

Prevention of Soil Erosion

Bamboo plantation on the river side holds the earth, thus reducing the ability of the monsoon river to break away lands from its banks.
