Asunción, Agencia IP.- The President of the Republic, Santiago Peña, said that Paraguay has all the conditions to lead in sustainable growth worldwide. He affirmed that the investment viewer presented by the National Forestry Institute (Infona, by its acronym in Spanish) constitutes “a tool that approaches one more step for us towards that leadership.”
Peña participated today in launching the “Paraguay Forest Investment Viewer for the World,” in charge of the National Forestry Institute (Infona), an innovative platform designed to promote investments in the forestry sector.
During his intervention, Peña highlighted that Paraguay has the opportunity to be a worldwide leader in sustainable development. He said it is a great advantage and an opportunity that could impact the country positively.
He called on us to nourish ourselves with science and the information collected to show the world Paraguay’s great potential. He stated that this map is an additional tool, among many others, that must be developed for sectors interested in investing in the forestry sector.
Paraguay is already a champion in sustainable production
“Paraguay is already a champion in sustainable production and renewable energies, but it is still an ongoing development with the potential we have ahead. Our country has all the conditions to lead sustainable growth worldwide. This tool approaches one step closer to that leadership”, said the President.
At another time, the Head of State referred to the collective effort that many public and private institutions are making to tackle an issue that, according to his words, was falling behind for many years due to certain prejudices.
Likewise, he admitted that it is complicated to debate the stories in the productive field due to the absence of data that impacts decision-making, mainly because of economic agents.
“It is something too important, and many business persons discovered that probably us Paraguayans did not realize our potential (…) today, we have the opportunity to lead a process of economic development having the information we did not have 100 years ago,” he stated.
The “Paraguay Forest Investment Viewer for the World” contains valuable information about the sustainable management of forest plantations, investment opportunities, and relevant data on logistics and carbon storage capacity.
