In forestry, time is measured in decades. From planting to harvest, a single forest cycle can take 6 to 8 years. That timeline makes eucalyptus an ideal long-term investment—but only if there’s a clear path to market at the end of the cycle.
Forestal Sylvis is building its forestry model with that endgame in mind. While many forest projects rely on uncertain buyers or volatile markets, Sylvis has secured a stable, industrial-scale commercial partner: petricor, a Paraguayan biocomplex dedicated to the processing and export of eucalyptus plywood.
This relationship creates structural clarity around the commercial phase of the investment.
From Seedling to Plywood
petricor is a state-of-the-art facility located in Caazapá, Paraguay, strategically positioned near Sylvis’ core plantation areas. The biocomplex specializes in sustainable eucalyptus plywood production, with a focus on high-quality panels for export markets.
The factory is designed to receive and process timber that meets specific density, moisture, and diameter requirements—criteria Sylvis incorporates into its silvicultural planning. This alignment ensures that the wood grown in Sylvis plantations is well suited to petricor’s industrial processes, reducing waste and maximizing the commercial value of every tree.
Every plantation is grown with a clearly defined commercial destination.
A Built-In Commercial Channel
Forestal Sylvis and petricor are connected not only by geography, but by long-term strategy. Both companies are part of the same business ecosystem, developed to deliver vertical integration in Paraguay’s forestry sector.
For Sylvis, this connection provides a direct commercial channel. When plantations reach maturity, timber is harvested and sold directly to petricor under a pre-established commercial agreement. There is no need to negotiate spot prices. No need to find buyers. No delays between harvest and revenue.
The result is reliable liquidity at the end of the investment cycle.
What This Means for Investors
Investing in forestry comes with a natural question: who will buy the timber, and at what price? In many models, that answer depends on commodity markets, foreign buyers, or seasonal fluctuations.
In Sylvis’ model, the answer is already clear. petricor is a guaranteed industrial buyer, capable of processing and absorbing large volumes of timber at consistent quality standards.
For investors, this removes one of the main variables in forestry: market access risk. It also supports cash flow planning, since timber sales can be timed and forecasted with far greater accuracy.
This level of vertical integration connects each stage of the value chain, from land preparation to industrial output. It positions Sylvis as part of Paraguay’s broader industrial development for sustainable materials.
A Clearer Horizon
The partnership between Forestal Sylvis and petricor ensures that every forest planted is connected to a defined market cycle. The timber harvested flows directly into an industrial system built to process and export high-quality plywood, creating value from the ground up.
Investors benefit from a model that combines forestry expertise with industrial infrastructure. The result is greater visibility, less uncertainty, and stronger long-term positioning.
