8 hectares of bamboo
A rich European heritage
Bamboos from China and Japan were first introduced to Europe in the early 1800s. By the turn of the century, over 100 different bamboos — mostly temperate varieties — were already known. Europe's first bamboo gardens were established and the plant became recognised as a beautiful exotic garden species.
In the 21st century, we are witnessing an enormous growth of "bambuism". Today, more than 400 different bamboos are cultivated in Europe. In southern Europe — Spain, Italy and Portugal — bamboos can reach their original height of over 20 metres, while in western Europe they grow up to 10 metres.
Near 1,200 species are recognised worldwide. Shoots reach their maximum height and diameter in a single growing season — you can almost watch them grow.
The Bamboologic partnership
BambooLogic is a Dutch company (Bambulogic Europe B.V.) building the European bamboo value chain. The company has offices in Nijmegen and Beverwijk, Netherlands.
Plant propagation takes place in Belgium, and our main nursery is situated in Galicia, Spain — Viveros Atlántico. The team has bamboo experience going back to the 1980s and cooperation in more than 25,000 hectares of bamboo field installations globally.
Bamboologic currently operates 135 ha in Portugal (Alcoutim and Vidigueira farms), with options for plantation setup in Spain, Italy, France and Greece.
Building a European bamboo value chain: from plant propagation to end products. European low-footprint bamboo for the European market — good for climate, agriculture and employment.
