This report on the identification and assessment of exotic bamboo species in Kenya is expected to overcome many of the current limitations and help realize the full potential of bamboo to bring about a transformation in the economy of the country. It is anticipated that a proper understanding of the different species and their potential for utilization will encourage greater involvement of government agencies, research organizations, farmers, and entrepreneurs in taking up bamboo plantations of the best species, and that scientific management will ensure higher productivity and more efficient utilization.
