Project 2

Argentina’s current market conditions favour acquiring forest properties. Attractive prices reflect distressed assets, a depreciated currency, and limited access to capital. Due to a lack of forestry tradition and expertise, access to prime properties is considerably more likely than in highly mature markets such as Europe and the US.

The objective of the project is to provide investors with attractive long-term returns, predominantly in the form of capital appreciation, but with income, through a portfolio of forestland and timber-related investments. The focus is on growing hardwoods in an uncontested market space for high-valued timber.

As an advancing agricultural frontier replaces native forests with crop production and other agricultural uses, the supply of hardwood timber is becoming increasingly scarce. Supply restrictions, together with a rising demand, ensure a significant, uncontested market space for high-value hardwood timber – a market space which forms the basis of our investment strategy. In order to provide sustainable returns, to control volatility and to manage risks, the portfolio is diversified through a variety of tree species, tree age classes and fully backed up with a comprehensive marketing framework.

In the province of Missiones we manage and develop on 782.2 hectares productive, sustainable and friendly forest practices with the Misiones Jungle. This is one of the most recent forestry investments in Misiones and the company’s commitment with German capital is based on the restoration of the native forest with a view to realizing in the long term a sustainable industrial project with high-value wood from sustainable forest management.

The development of the project over the span of the years to come will include efforts to recover degraded areas, restore the native forest, make a better use of resources while preserving them, especially those of great value such as native species and other exotic species friendly to the ecosystem, such as Australian Cedar, Paraiso and Hovenia, which are of great wood quality and can be used in a sustainable way while safeguarding the environment.

The project is focused on the production of quality wood and products in the long-term period, and contributes to the social benefits in the region by creating jobs for local people.

Sustainable management of mature forests enables both nature conservation and profit generation

Why did we choose Misiones?

Because of its climate, soil and forest growth rate, it is one of the best provinces in Argentina for forestry projects since it allows the development of species of high commercial value that would not adapt in the same way in other areas. 56.5% of the total area of the Province of Misiones is covered by remnants of Atlantic forest and this allows us to replant valuable native species and enrich the local forest.

The area of forestry operations is currently located between the municipalities of Apóstoles and Concepción de la Sierra, where we carry out the management and planting activities on the area of about 800 hectares of which 85% consists of Secondary Native Forest which was last harvested around year 1950.

Myroxylon’s commitment is the restoration of the native forest through sustainable management and planting techniques.

Sustainable management of mature forests enables both nature conservation and profit generation. Different techniques are implemented in the forest management, which stimulates the recovery, regeneration and enrichment of the forest, mostly with valuable native species, combining them in a mixed or pure way. Trees are planted on relatively small strips between existing native strips instead of clearing larger areas for planting, always looking for the best forestry technique for each planted tree. These valuable tree species are planted for later commercialization, and the forest continue its natural recovery process.
