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...

EcoCrops International China trade sanctions will they work for Trump?

Eco Crops international  like any other global company is watching with bated breath to see how China will react to the latest round of trade sanctions placed on them by The President of The United States. Anyone like  EcoCrops International  who has a vested interest in the financial markets whether personal or institutional knows this has the potential to have far-reaching consequences for many investors.

President Donald Trump announced a new 10% tariff of $200bn on Chinese goods arriving in the US from next week. It will rise to 25% at the end of the year. Trump was quoted yesterday,...

Storms and winter pruning.

S evere weather can happen any time of year, with the storms, hurricanes, and earthquakes becoming more and more frequent at the moment. Trees can be affected by storms, bad weather and become hazardous. This is when trees can become dangerous to remove without machinery. Our entire plantation here at Ecocrops International is fully insured should this ever happen. As autumn approaches we here at EcoCrops International believe that now is the perfect time for you to look for overwintering insect eggs attached to the tree trunk and to look for any sign of pest damage. When it comes to pruning you're normally at this time of year there are no leaves so we can easily see the structure of the tree. Pruning the trees whilst less dormant is also less of a shock to a tree. By doing pruning at the start of winter the tree heals him throughout the spring. Also, winter is a perfect time for pruning because the soil is hard and frozen and no equipment or machinery will damage the so...

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...

Ecocrops Internationa asked how enviromentally friendly are the Chinese?

China’s energy policy and its effect on the environment is big news now and with recent events involving Africa have raised the World’s attention. EcoCrops  International  takes great pride in the sustainability of our ethical green investments, which why we find the latest news of Egypt’s plan to build the World’s largest coal-fired power disturbing. China had maintained in its South-South climate agreement to ensure clean energy projects where their number one priority.   However it would appear that China is more interested in promoting its coal industry and hydro power projects that are a serious risk to the environments. There is some god news with Chinese backing, Egypt is developing the World’s largest Solar Farm. What is concerning for Eco Crops International and will be for any person that takes looking after environment seriously, is that a much of the loans provided by the Export-Import Bank of China, and the China Development Ba...

EcoCrops International why forests need to be Insured

Fires have been a part of California ecosystems for  generations . Now, however,  nearly a 30% of homes in California  are in rural areas where houses intermingling with wildlands and fire is a natural phenomenon. Just as Californians must live with earthquake risk, they must live with fires. Shaped by ignitions, climate and fuels, fires are likely to become more  frequent and severe with climate change s. The 2018 experience of the largest and most damaging fires in California history, and ongoing destructive fires in 2018 provide a window of opportunity for learning to better  coexist  with fires.   But both governments and people tend to adopt only short-term responses that don’t necessarily  reduce risk effectively . For example, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, after visiting fires in California,  said  the solution to fires prevention is more  active management  to remove fuel from forests. In a  tweet , Pres...
