The fastest growing plant in the world and an ideal source of sustainable timber, bamboo has captured the attention of leading investors, with the world market expected to quadruple over the next four years.

 

Property Frontiers has been one company with the vision to engage with this exciting new development in the timber industry. With their established partner, EcoPlanet Bamboo, the company has been offering bamboo investments in Central America for the past two years, with early investors already seeing excellent returns.

 

The partnership places a high value on the ethical and socially accountable aspects of renewable timber growth. As Property Frontiers´ Chief Executive Ray Withers explains:

 

"Our clients are looking for alternative investments that allow them to generate profits at the same time as doing something socially responsible. Bamboo investment offers just that – our plantations create jobs, produce sustainable products and have programmes for educating and up-skilling the local communities with which we work."

 

Environmental awareness is a key feature of the plantations. Sustainability and respect for the local ecosystem are paramount, with vermiculture, biogreen fertilizer and other techniques used to grow the bamboo in harmony with nature. The commitment to the environment is such that the Nicaraguan plantations offered by Property Frontiers have just received accreditation from both the Forest Stewardship Council and the Verified Carbon Standard. The certification process of the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Alliance is also underway, with this prestigious accreditation expected to follow shortly.

 

Property Frontiers is delighted with the news and is now offering a final phase of investment for those looking to make ethically conscious returns. The plantation lots in Central America are available on 15 year commercial leases from as little as $55,000 with 26% base case annualised returns. Realistic market returns are forecast to be considerably higher, at 293% or more over the 15 year term.

 

Ray Withers continues:

 

"Our bamboo plantations in Nicaragua offer impressive financial returns, at the same time as combatting the global issues of deforestation and climate change. On a local level, we are improving communities and working with native populations to create a lasting programme of positive social change. This means that our investors can make considerable returns on their investments while contributing positively to environmental issues and social change."

 

Property Frontiers remains at the forefront of emerging ethical investment markets, such as bamboo. Their carefully considered and researched approach to international opportunities provides clients with the certainty of knowing that they can enhance their social conscience as well as their finances.
