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”

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.

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...

Industrial wood pellets are trading at an all-time high.

EcoCrops International reports that Industrial wood pellets, as opposed to domestic wood pellets, are currently trading at an all-time high.  With the Argus 90 day Industrial wood pellet index trading at US$210 per tonne, up strongly from July 2018 where they were trading at US$175. The steep increase in prices is primarily driven by higher demand from European Power Stations.  Such as new power station coming online in the Netherland, Belgium, and Italy.  And existing Power stations such as the huge UK Drax power station burning more wood pellets and burning less coal. This trend is set to increase due to a number of factors: The EU climate change targets for reducing its greenhouse emissions, transforming the EU carbon-based fuel (coal) police towards a low carbon economy by 2050.  With targets for the reductions of greenhouse emissions is set for 2020 and 2030. Germany’s plant to phase out all coal power stations by 2038.  And the increased effici...

China preparing solar farms in Space

Ecocrops internationa l reports that the Stations would orbit 22,000 miles from Earth and would weigh over 1,000 tons, that is 600 tons more than the International Space Station.  They plan to deploy small and medium stations between 2021 and 2025 and a megawatt level satellite in 2030. Space-based solar power has two major advantages over Earth-based solar power:  due to the orbit they can collect energy 24 hours a day, and they collect more energy as the sunlight is not filtered by the Earth’s atmosphere. Under the plans, huge satellites would be put into orbit to collect the sunlight with huge solar rays.  Once the energy is collected it would be sent back to receiving stations on earth as microwaves.  On Earth, these microwaves would be converted to electricity and fed into the grid. Due to the huge size of the satellites, the Chinese are proposing to fabricate with 3D printer technology and then assemble in the Earth orbit with robots. Pang Zhihao, a re...
