Timber Investment in Panama - The Princess Project
Timber is the only asset to have grown in three out of the four market collapses of the 20th century, has risen steadily in price for 200 years and has returned an average of 6.5% a year for the last century. - Jeremy Grantham US fund manager .
The Princess Project
The Princess Project is a pioneering reforestation venture in central Panama. 500 hectares of land, currently used for cattle grazing, are being reforested with the fast growing tree Paulownia Elongata (also known as Princess Tree or Empress Tree).

The Princess Tree is recognized as the fastest growing hardwood in the world. The timber it produces is durable and strong, lightweight and fire resistant. Unlike other Tropical timbers, the demand for Paulownia is not being met by abundance of plantations and, as a carbon reducing facility; it absorbs more CO2 than any other Tropical plantation tree.
Paulownia is a fascinating species; believed to be the fastest growing hardwood in the world, it can be harvested 4-5 times in the space of just one Teak harvest and it provides an array of environmental benefits, from soil regeneration to an extraordinary rate of carbon dioxide uptake.
The world market price, supply and demand, speed of growth and quick return on investment make Paulownia an ideal commercial plantation tree.
Moreover, a buyer for the timber has already been found with a bonded purchase guarantee in place, ensuring your investment return is completely guaranteed.
