非洲主要国家竹种资源与利用

Main Bamboo Species in Africa Countries and Their Utilization

非洲是世界第3大竹资源分布区,竹资源量仅次于亚洲和拉丁美洲。东部非洲的埃塞俄比亚、肯尼亚等国家的竹种资源比较单一,以高地竹和低地竹为主;南部非洲的马达加斯加、中部非洲的喀麦隆和西部非洲的尼日利亚等国家竹种资源较为丰富。埃塞俄比亚、尼日利亚、喀麦隆、马达加斯加、刚果、莫桑比克、塞内加尔、加纳的竹林面积位居非洲前列。非洲竹资源加工利用主要以传统产品为主,现代加工水平不高,竹产品进出口水平有限。近年来,非洲主要竹资源分布国的竹产业战略与政策发展以及国际合作日渐活跃并取得积极进展。文章分析了非洲21个国家的竹资源及利用现状,以期为开发利用非洲竹资源提供参考。

Africa has the world s third largest stock of bamboo resource,only next to Asia and Latin America.In Ethiopia,Kenya and other countries of Eastern Africa,where there is a limited diversity of bamboo species,highland bamboo and lowland bamboo are the most common.In Madagascar of Southern Africa,Cameroon of Central Africa,Nigeria of Western Africa and other African countries that boast a richer bamboo resources,species are more diversified.Ethiopia,Nigeria,Cameroon,Madagascar,Congo,Mozambique,Senegal and Ghana rank top in terms of bamboo forest area.Lacking in modern processing technology,the bamboo industry in Africa mainly utilizes the plant for traditional products,with the imports and exports on a very limited scale.Recent years have seen more active efforts and positive progress on the development of bamboo industrial strategies and policies and on related international cooperation in main bamboo-growing countries in Africa.This paper analyzes the bamboo resources in 21 African countries and their utilization,in order to provide references for the development and utilization of bamboo resources in Africa.
