Ethical InvestmentCommercial Agroforestry
Commercial agroforestry is known to be the world's most ethical investment platform, initiated in the 12th century in Europe. Since its inception, the agroforestry industry acts as an asset class which hedges against inflation and macroeconomic influences due to human activities and rising timber demand.
Deforestation has occurred around the world. Consequently, we were comparative to initiating commercial agroforestry globally. As a result, Hirujaya Plantation is planting more than 1 million sandalwood trees as a sustainable asset class.
ISO 9001 : 2015
Developing asset class by plant management to maintain global standards.
