WESTERN BUREAU: Jamaica’s bamboo industry has been tapped to generate US$1.4 billion in revenues over the next decade, an investor has forecast. Anthony Dunn, chief investment officer at Delta Capital Partners (DeltaCap), which has both local and international partners, said that his outfit was particularly upbeat about the future of bamboo here. DeltaCap is investing US$300 million in the planting of bamboo on idle sugar lands, said Dunn. The project involves the establishment of a factory for bamboo pulp in Frome, Westmoreland. About 2,000 acres of former sugar cane lands in Trelawny will be made available through Sugar Company of Jamaica Holdings for the planting of bamboo, which will mature in three years, he added.
