EcoCrop International says "Sustainable forestry investments in emerging markets makes sense"


Ecocrops International maintains that €1,000 investments in sustainable forestry in Europe or in Latin America will remove approximately 100 metric tons of C02 from the environment.  Or that 1,000 hectare plantation will generate 30 to 50 jobs indirectly.  Additionally the investor has a significant and valuable investment that can generate above average returns.

Traditionally investments in sustainable forestry was a small segment of the growing property market, but it generated powerful environmental and social impact.

EcoCrops International maintain that investing in emerging markets such as Estonia and Panama offers not only compelling financial returns but also major social and economic benefits.

When investing in forestry it is important to remember that there is a growing Global demand for legally and sustainably produced timber. Such an investment not only represents an attractive option for portfolio diversification, it also supports the expansion of forest plantations – which combats climate change, reverses deforestation and boosts local economic development in rural regions. 

Furthermore, the long term, real asset nature of wood land investments, combined with flexible harvesting time, an existing supply deficit, and good growing conditions in well-chosen areas, all frequently translate into excellent returns that are cushioned against inflation. 

“Investing in sustainable forestry simply makes good sense for the institutional impact investor,” says James Grainger, Head of Operations of EcoCrops International. “The attractive risk return ratio and demonstrable social and environmental benefits conferred by such projects, especially in Latin America and Europe, are impressive”

Trumps biomass policy

In 2007 the USA Federal Government passed the US Renewable Fuel Standard which required ethanol blending with domestic oil in large quantities with frequent increases in amounts of ethanol being used.  The bill was passed to reduce the USA carbon footprint and increase the amount of renewable biofuel being used in the USA. Under the Trump administrations, they have been far less supportive of the biomass blending mandate, granting biofuel waivers to major industry players and allowing the trading of biomass credits to develop. Despite the less than active support for biofuel domestically Trump has been pushing his trade negotiators to get big concessions from his Chinese counterparts by asking them to lower their tariffs on biomass in particular biofuel. China's ethanol demand is expected to grow nearly sevenfold as the country prepares to introduce E10 fuel throughout the country next year. E10 fuel is a fuel using 10% ethanol and 90% petrol. U.S. trade negotiato...

Markets just saw the best earnings season since the financial crisis, and nobody cares

Even mildly pessimistic guidance has investors spooked amid macro headwinds Earnings for S&P 500 companies grew by 25.8% in the third quarter, the strongest performance since the third quarter of 2010, when companies benefited from very attractive, recession-era comparable earnings. Nevertheless, from the start of earnings season to the close of trade Friday, the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.22% has fallen 2.7%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.49% 1.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.15% 5.5%. “Third quarter earnings were outstanding both on earnings and revenue growth, the percentage of companies beating expectations, and the magnitude of those beats,” Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors. But the selloff that accompanied these announcements is a testament to the fact that “Wall Street doesn’t care what you’ve done in the past. It’s all about what you’re going to do next quarter,” Arone said. The pairing of r...

Secure your online wallets & be careful with online services

You should be wary of any service designed to store your money online. Many exchanges and online wallets suffered from security breaches in the past and such services generally still do not provide enough insurance and security to be used to store money like a bank. Accordingly, you might want to use other types of Cyber currency wallets.  Otherwise, you should choose such services very carefully. Additionally, using two-factor authentication is recommended. Small amounts for everyday uses A Bitcoin wallet is like a wallet with cash. If you wouldn't keep a thousand dollars in your pocket, you might want to have the same consideration for your Bitcoin wallet. In general, it is a good practice to keep only small amounts of bitcoins on your computer, mobile, or server for everyday uses and to keep the remaining part of your funds in a safer environment. Backup your wallet Stored in a safe place, a backup of your wallet can protect you against computer failures and ma...
