In 2021 CADIEM Casa de Bolsain alliance with Sylvis Forestrya Paraguayan company specialized in reforestation and a benchmark in the field, developed the Eco Forestal I Investment Fund. The first forestry fund in the country, with the objective of targeting a project that not only generates profitability for its investors but also generates a triple positive impact: economic, environmental and social, thus leaving a footprint in the country.
What does the Eco Forest Fund consist of?
The Eco Forest Investment Fund I is a medium-term fund in guaraníes, which goes beyond traditional profitability: it seeks not only to generate money, but also to generate wealth with a triple impact: economic, social and environmental.
It consists of 1,900 hectares of reforestation with a silvopastoral system in Caazapá, using eucalyptus, to produce high quality wood for the plywood/multilaminate industry.
At what stage is the Fund at?
The Fund is in its second year of life since its inception, where the first stages involved soil preparation, construction of canals to manage water and planting of eucalyptus trees.
The fund is currently in the planting and care stage. Also this year we received the first litters of cattle, complying with the silvopastoral system, which integrates the plantation with livestock production.
Today, 1,900 hectares have already been worked with more than 1,100,000 eucalyptus trees planted and growing healthily. The seedlings of the first stage are already 4 meters high and 6 cm in diameter. The expectation is that by year 10 they can reach 40 meters in height and 40 cm in diameter.
How can I invest in this Forest Fund?
The investment is made through CADIEM Casa de Bolsa. This fund is of a size of G. 43,000 million and the minimum investment amount is G. 30 million.which is equivalent to the care of 1,000 trees.
Fund data to date:

Why is it a good investment alternative?
The Eco Forestal I Investment Fund of CADIEM and Forestal Sylvis, is a product that goes beyond generating profitability, since it also gives you the possibility of contributing to the environment.
It has a triple impact line: social, economic and environmental.
- The economic value is the generation of high quality wood that goes to the industry being a high export product.
- From an environmental point of view, the replacement of degraded pastures and reed beds helps the soil by protecting it from erosion, water and biological diversity, in addition to being a permanent carbon sequestration agent.
- It will also have a strong social impact with the creation of jobs that will benefit more than 100 families in the town of Caazapá, where the 1,900 planted hectares are located, thus providing them with a better quality of life.
