Pioneering the industrial bamboo plantation and processing zone in the Philippines, CSFirst Green Agri-Industrial Development, Inc. (CSFirst Green) was established in 2012. The company designed a bamboo industry model that not only focuses on generating profit but also prioritizes people’s welfare. Its mission is to build communities by creating work opportunities while also cultivating more entrepreneurs.
CSFirst Green Agri-Industrial Development, Inc. seeks to transform vast tracts of denuded forests into intensive bamboo plantations and a thriving agro-industrial bamboo economy. This initiative promotes socio-economic growth while boosting the eco-tourism industry. Local farmers in surrounding communities are treated as partners in the venture, empowering their entrepreneurial spirit and contributing to both financial and social stability. The industry is also expected to stimulate the local economy through spin-off businesses and bamboo-based enterprises.
The company’s commitment to reforesting degraded lands with bamboo aligns with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) National Greening Program (NGP), which aims to significantly increase the Philippines’ forest cover while helping combat climate change.
As CSFirst Green pursues excellence, it strives to become the leading distributor of manufactured bamboo in the supply chain and the company of choice in the bamboo industry. Its research-based bamboo planting methods are refined with advanced, state-of-the-art production processes, developed in close collaboration with local communities—its strongest partners.
Overall, this pioneering bamboo industry initiative will deliver long-term environmental, social, and economic benefits for both local and national development.
CSFirst Green Agri-Industrial Development, Inc.’s business model is rooted in “Inclusive Growth.”
