Bicycles form a critical element of Ghana’s transportation system and for several decades have established important development linkages between different regions of the country.
The role of Bamboo bicycles in achieving a green economy will continue to gain more and more importance as we witness a gradual cultural shift towards sustainable transports in Ghana.
Known internationally as a contributor to global emission reductions, bamboo bikes combine the mechanical strength and uniqueness of bamboo into an aesthetically pleasing and robust artefact of semi-manual craftsmanship.
As a forward-looking company, Ghana Bamboo Bikes is committed to creating a culture of cycling through its distribution programme across the country and open up employment opportunities for the youth through its business expansion.
Ghana’s agricultural development and its transportation systems are closely interdependent.
Therefore, the transport sector plays a vital role in accelerating economic gains from agriculture by facilitating the free-flow of commodities from production centres or farm-gates to consumers.
In honour of the massive contribution of farmers to Ghana’s economic growth, Ghana Bamboo Bikes has donated 5 iconic racked bamboo bicycles to this year’s winners in the categories of the Best Female Farmer, Best Youth Farmer, Best Female Cocoa Farmer, Best Shea nut Picker and Best Young Cocoa Famer.
“We believe bamboo bikes can support these hard-working farmers in their load-bearing activities and enhance their productivity”, said Bernice Dapaah, CEO and Founder of the Ghana Bamboo.
She has also pledged to make the donations a yearly activity as part of its social responsibility.
