Synopsis (short abstract) Woven bamboo products are produced from thin strips of bamboo. There are a wide variety of such products and they have been closely associated with the development of civilizations in bamboo growing regions of the world for many millennia. The products may be primarily intended for agricultural use, such as baskets for vegetables or animals and winnowing trays for cereals, or they may be household products such as baskets, trays, jars, cases, lampshades, fans and mats.

The increasing difficulty in sourcing timber species in Nigeria necessitates seeking for alternatives species. Providing alternative species requires knowledge on the technical properties and budgetary evaluation particularly in relation to their utilization. Bambusa vulgaris from available evidence had been used for light construction and production in some parts of Nigeria; however, there is dearth of information on its technical properties and budgetary evaluation. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate selected properties and budgetary evaluation of Bamboo. Bamboo culms were harvested, processed into valuable products such as Tables, Chairs, Bed, flower vases, lamp stands and many other household items with detail analysis on the cost of production in either round or laminated form. The technical properties considered include: Modulus of rupture (MOR) and Modulus of elasticity (MOE), while the budgetary analysis include: Rate of Returns on Investment and cost benefit analysis of the production. Result of the properties shows that the mean MOE of B. vulgaris was 4556.21±98.42N/mm2. While mean MOR of B. vulgaris was 51.88±112.80N/mm. The Rate of Returns (RORI) of bamboo furniture is above 60% and Cost Benefit Ratio is higher than 1. There are potentials in utilizing bamboo for the production of structural materials being a medium density wood and slightly dimensionally stable. It is also a profitable venture for utilization and it has the potential of serving as a suitable alternative to the scarce tropical timber species Keywords: Value chain, Research, Innovation, Sustainable forest management, Financial mechanisms ID: 3474266

To ensure the safety and quality of foods, it is essential to implement preventative approaches that focus on building quality and safety throughout the food chain. Good hygienic practices (GHP) and good manufacturing practices (GMP), together with hazard analysis and critical point (HACCP) systems, have been recognized globally as important for ensuring the safety and quality of food and for preventing foodborne diseases. The purpose of the preventative approach is to build safety into products by identifying hazards and either preventing them from entering the food chain, eliminating them or reducing them to acceptable levels. This document develops/adapts the Codex texts into requirements or criteria which can be included by governments in their legislation to provide a basis for compliance with GMP/HACCP based food safety management systems, either on a mandatory or voluntary basis.
