Pinos and Eucalyptus: in a year and a half, Argentina added 49,000 hectares of forest plantations
According to a study by the Ministry of Agriculture, in our country there are currently 1.32 million hectares with forest plantations. The provinces of Mesopotamia concentrate more than 80% of the surface.
The forest chain added almost 49,000 hectares of tree plantations, mainly pine Data corresponds to last May and is taken from cartographic updates. The growth corresponds fundamentally to new plantations and reforestation of Pinus and Eucalyptus, demonstrating the potential of Argentine industrial forest activity as a regional development engine and the commitment in the long term to the growth of the activity, underlined from the dependency that Sergio Iraeta drives. Mesopotamia, cradle of the forest industry. The main forest provinces are currents, Missions, Entre Ríos and Buenos Aires, which concentrate 85.2 % of the implemented surface. In so much, the remaining surfaces are distributed among 19 other provinces, being Neuquén, Chubut, Córdoba and Río Negro those of greater incidence in this minority percentage. The extracted wood has multiple industrial destinations, including the production of sawn wood, cellulose. Pellets and electric power generation. It contributes significantly to the generation of added value, employment and development of local economies, highlighted from the government. And they added: having updated and verified forest statistics is not only essential to guide sectoral policy and strengthen value chains, but also to comply with the standards of traceability and sustainability required by international markets.

They promote research in pine resins from the NEA
The forestry industry is one of the most important sectors in the economies of Misiones and Corrientes. Thousands of hectares of pine supply the paper, pulp, boards and sawmill industry. Pinus elliottii, one of the species established in the region, in addition to providing wood, is used to produce resin, a non-wood forest product with high demand in the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. In 2\024, resin extraction of approximately 52,6\0\0 tons was achieved from approximately 18,\0\0\0,\0\0\0 trees in production, generating income and jobs with high expansion potential.
