The Project involves existing plantation forestry operations and the production of wood chips for the biomass energy sector or conversion to pulp for other wood-based products. The Project grows Acacia mangium and Eucalyptus pellita as the principal species and is undertaking provenance trials of Eucalyptus urograndis X urophylla as part of its genetic improvement program. Currently, 38,000 hectares are in production. The Project’s long-range forest plan seeks to have a total of 150,000 hectares in production by 2029 and to reach a sustainable harvest of over 5 million tons/year.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF THE UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT FINANCE CORPORATION (DFC)
The Office of Accountability is an independent office that addresses complaints about environmental or social issues related to DFC-supported projects. The office provides communities an opportunity to have concerns independently reviewed and addressed. If you submit a complaint to the Office of Accountability, it may assist you by either seeking to address your problems by facilitating a problem solving dialogue between you and those implementing the project and/or investigating whether the DFC complied with its policies to prevent environmental, social, human rights, and labor harms.
