OUR EUCALYPTUS

Growth at high speed

The heart of our plantations: A particularly fast growing eucalyptus. The type of eucalyptus we use is perfectly matching climatic conditions and the soil in Paraguay. This way a growth of 5-7 m per year is made possible. A high quality hardwood in demand on the timber market.

The perfect choice: eucalyptus.

To meet the needs of the industry, two things are required: on one hand that trees planted on the plantations are fast growing for a rapid harvest and commercialization. On the other hand, that the quality of the harvested raw wood
is of high quality for good prices on the market. We have therefore made eucalyptus the heart of our project – not just any, but the fastest growing eucalyptus in the world. The trees we plant grow at a record-breaking rate -in both height and width.

High-quality hardwood is versatile – its use ranges from furniture construction to frames and window ledges to panelling and is used as construction wood in houses or shipbuilding. According to an estimate of the association of the Paraguayan wood industry FEPAMA the annual demand in Paraguay requires a plantation area of 100,000 hectares.

The right tree in the right location

The type of eucalyptus we use is extremely low in oils. This means on one hand that the entire energy of the tree can be directed towards rapid growth of the wood. On the other hand makes this special circumstance our plantations extremely resistant to fire. Furthermore, eucalyptus loves water-rich locations – and Paraguay has one of biggest water reservoirs in the world.

The heart of Latin America:
Seven convincing reasons for Paraguay

1. Favorable climate

The country offers the perfect climate for the growth of eucalyptus. The overall climate is tropical to subtropical, with wet and dry periods instead of seasons. Paraguay is the second most water rich country in the world. Fertile soils allow up to three harvests per year.

2. Deforested areas

Paraguay is characterized by deforestation: over 85% of the country has been deforested in recent decades. The remaining areas are largely acidified and are no longer used. Paraguay therefore has large contiguous areas of fallow land, which are ideal for reforestation.

3. Investment security

Investors are welcomed with open arms. In 1993, for example, an investment protection agreement was concluded between Germany and Paraguay, which guarantees security for German capital investments in Paraguay and vice versa.

4. Foreigners can acquire property

An unlimited lifelong residence permit can easily be obtained with legal security. Local and foreign investors are treated equally and are equally promoted. Investors benefit from a favorable tax rate of 10%.

5. High demand for wood

The demand for wood as fuel and building material is particularly high in Paraguay.

6. Emerging economy

The economy is growing steadily and the expansion of the infrastructure is continuously promoted. Paraguay has one of the lowest inflation rates in Latin America and is one of the least indebted countries in Latin America and has a very young population. 70% are under 35 years old. Entrepreneurs can choose from a large amount of workers.

7. Plenty of space for everyone

Paraguay is with 7.5 million people one of the least populated countries in Latin America.
