The Background
To study the economic feasibility of planting tropical hardwood trees, the Ponçon family began a pilot forestry project in 1993 that lasted five years. Based on the successful results of the study, AgroForestal S.A. was formed in 1998 to plant and grow trees that are primarily exotic precious species native to Central America.From 1999 until 2007, Simplemente Madera Group has planted and developed more than 2,820,000 trees on three farms from its sister company Agroforestal S.A. located throughout Nicaragua:
La Cumplida farm in Matagalpa
El Edén farm in Nagarote
Ecoforestal farm in San Juan del Sur
Today, more than 80% of our raw materials come from the Nicaraguan plantations of our sister company, Agroforestal. The FSC certified plantations have three main species, Mahogany, Oak and Thorny Cedar. We also use Teak from other Nicaraguan plantations. With more than 1500 hectares of Plantations and 3000 hectares of third party Teak plantations to draw upon, we have guaranteed supply chain of certified wood for years to come.
