AS the Government moves to further the development of the bamboo industry, Jamaica Promotions Corporation (JAMPRO) is currently encouraging investors to take advantage of by-products in the sector. Already, there is organic bamboo charcoal on the market, and the latest is bamboo tomato ketchup, which was developed by recent university graduate and head of Jamdun’ Food Processing, Chevaughn Bowen.
