S. A. Foresta SE S. A. Foresta SE is part of South America Foresting, a group of companies developing eco-forestry in subtropical Paraguay in land whose forests had been denuded in the past.
We are building plantations that carefully respect the environment, comply with local and international regulations and produce certified timber. By stopping the deforestation of primary forests whose trees remove CO2 from the atmosphere, these plantations are contributing toward balancing the effects of climate change.
Eco-forestry
S.A. Foresta is investing into soil and the preparation of it, planting hardwood eucalyptus trees and then managing our certified land to grow and develop first-class quality wood.
Potential
The most recent studies on timber consumption in Paraguay show the volume of legally harvested timber now exceeding consumption. The difference cannot be presently covered by legal harvesting of the remaining 700,000 forests and jungle. However, the largest consumers are no longer willing to buy illegally harvested timber because of sanctions. These companies’ needs are currently covered by forest plantations and imports, with current log and woodchip inventories falling slightly. In addition, the capacity of the wood-processing industry is constantly expanding due to increasing agricultural and industrial production. These factors will lead to an increased shortage of wood and biomass stocks within a time frame of one to two years. More here S. A. Real Foresting Group manages 19,000 hectares of land, of which 3,000 hectares are afforested to provide in future 1,000,000 cubic meters of timber in the first cycle, with the trend growing in subsequent years.
