Investing in Lumber
Timber is the third largest commodity market after oil and gas. Nevertheless, only a small number of very well-informed large companies are investing in timber and just in fast-growing or expensive woods such as eucalyptus and teak. Such investments have over decades enjoyed high returns. The foundation for successful projects are adequately large, high-quality and affordable land and a favorably good climate.
By 2014, Paraguay had become the most deforested country in the world. It had to stop, so alternative concepts and projects came to life. Forest plantations will in the future cover a large percentage of demand in timber, contributing all over the world and specifically to preserving virgin tropical forests.
In recent years, the first forest reclamation projects have begun appearing in Paraguay, proving to be particularly desirable due to the ideal soil and climate conditions there.
Political stability, which has survived Paraguay’s political transitions on the continent, has made investment in the local economy possible for more than 70 years. Favorable legislation and conditions in Paraguay, known as the Switzerland of South America, have attracted foreign investors to the country.
