The Company
Miro Forestry is a sustainable forestry business with expanding timber plantations in Ghana and Sierra Leone as well as other developing interests in sustainable timber.
The Company consists of a management team experienced in emerging markets and in operating world class forestry businesses.
The Company has over 25,000 hectares of land on which it is expanding its fast rotation tree stands having commenced operations in February 2010.
Plantations
Establishing trees through a managed plantation system provides a modern solution to fulfilling the increasing global demand for timber products whilst ensuring economic and environmental viability. Such best practice plantation management systems coupled with high silviculture standards provides for efficient and cost competitive plantations ensuring high timber growth rates whilst minimising operational risks.
Teak, Cedar, Eucalyptus and Pine are the principal species planted by the Company, providing diversity of rotation length and product range.
Investors
Miro Forestry is focused on being the leading sustainable timber producer in West Africa where operating costs are globally most competitive and timber growth rates highest. This intrinsic competitive advantage, coupled with strong routes to market, provides for maximum margin on commodity production and hence attractive investor returns.
Timber investment is one of the best performing investments classes over the last 30 years with average annual returns above 15%. Most experts agree that such returns are set to continue as global timber stocks continue to be depleted whilst demand further increases. Timber investment is uncorrelated to global stock markets and can therefore form an important part of investment portfolios.
