Investing in Forestry
Sustainable timber in all its forms represents arguably one of the most secure asset types available. The demand for tropical hardwood alone has increased over 2500% in the last 40 years - with China’s demand increasing 16 fold over the last 12 years alone.
Take into account the fact that the worlds population is predicted to rise from 6.5 Billion to 9.5 Billion within 40 years. This combined with increasing international pressure and new legislation to curb the logging of our natural forests; it is clear to see why there is so much interest in sustainable forestry investment from both private and institutional investors.
Even without taking the above future supply and demand situation into account, the current argument is compelling when the Investment Property Databank UK forestry index returned 32% in 2007. This is five times higher than equities and bonds, and in sharp contrast to the fall in UK commercial property. As an asset class, timber – a renewable resource with constant product demand – stands out as a remarkably stable investment’ - Bloomberg Wealth Manager.
Sustainable forestry is the responsible alternative to relying on our natural forests to supply the ever growing global timber demand. To put this into perspective we have lost 10% of the planets natural forests in the last 25 years alone. By planting, harvesting and replanting bamboo, a cycle is created that offsets the need for cutting natural supplies and thus protecting our environment, creating jobs and ensuring an ongoing supply of bamboo for future generations.
