The Forest

The Forest

Our company operates in coordination with and adheres to the regulations set by the Ministry of Environment and Forests. The Ministry has the responsibility to the comprehensive forest management of the Mandaratsy forest, encompassing an area of 3,750 hectares. The reforestation efforts within this region consist of 95% Pinus kesiya and Pinus patula, 3% Eucalyptus robusta, and 2% remnants of natural forest (designated as a non-exploitable natural reserve).

Ministry of Environment and Forests does it all with proper documentation like forest development plans, certificates of conformity, and environmental specification documents. All these documents undergo meticulous and stringent monitoring to ensure the responsible management of forest resources and traceability of our products.
