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.
