Seattle,
United States, September 8, 2012 -- A new article in IFA Magazine
by Green Forestry Investments' Lisa Best, has been welcomed by
Forestry Research Associates (FRA) for championing Brazil as one of
the best places to invest.
Lisa
Best is a project manager for Green Forestry Investments and claims
that, although Brazil’s economy is not growing as fast as it once
was, it should definitely still be considered as a place to invest
cash in alternatives, such as forestry and real estate.
Not
only has the country become extremely stable, both economically and
politically, in recent years it has also managed to win bids to host
major sporting events over the coming few years. In 2014 the FIFA
World Cup will be held in Brazil, while Rio will host the Olympics in
2016. For both of these events, considerable infrastructure
investments will take place and the steel industry in particular is
booming.
FRA’s
analysis partner, Peter Collins, said, “This is one of the reasons
why investing in forestry plantations in Brazil is a good bet. The
plantations provide sustainable charcoal to the steel industry, who
would otherwise be sourcing it form native forests which, as we all
know, are threatened and extremely vulnerable.”
Ms
Best added that Brazil already sources 85 per cent of the energy it
needs from renewable sources. The government is still investing
heavily in this area and, therefore, this is another reason why
sustainable timber plantations that could produce biomass are worth
investing in.
FRA
supports all kinds of ethical investing and particularly green
investments like timberland. Mr Collins explained that a growing
number of investors want to see something with an intrinsic value in
exchange for their hard-earned cash following the economic collapse.
“Forestry investments through firms like Greenwood
Management and Green Forestry Investments are a
good option for risk-averse alternative investors,” stated Mr
Collins.
