Bamboo is of considerable importance for many households in Madagascar, both rural and urban. Bamboo is mainly grown in Madagascar’s central uplands and eastern humid forests. Based on bibliographic research, field interviews and laboratory analyses, this study established internal and external diagnoses of the bamboo sector in Madagascar’s eastern regions, particularly the Analanjirofo and Antsinanana districts. These diagnoses were then used to formulate strategic options. Several strategic options were noted, especially the support provided by a specialised organisation (INBAR), favourable conditions for extension work and a high level of motivation among those concerned, all of which allow predict a strong development of the Bamboo chain in the future. Furthermore, the physical and mechanical properties of bamboo species found in the study zone are of considerable interest to meet needs for various kinds of uses. The constraints noted include inadequate regulatory measures, archaic processing techniques and a low rate of recovery of byproducts. The ignorance of the exact potential of the area available as well as the properties of the thatches limits the valorization of bamboo. The revival of the Bamboo chain could partly contribute to the long-term preservation of other natural forest resources. This study demonstrates the importance of bamboo in eastern Madagascar and has established a basis for more in-depth investigations.
