Context<\/span><\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The eastern region of Paraguay is home to the Alto Paran\u00e1 forest ecosystem, renowned for its biodiversity<\/strong> and a refuge for many endemic and threatened species. With abundant water resources and fertile soils, about 65 per cent of the region offers optimal conditions for producing global commodities<\/strong> such as soybeans, meat, timber, cellulose, sugarcane, and cotton.<\/p>\n

However, satellite data show a disturbing trend of deforestation, with repeated episodes of forest degradation over the years<\/strong>. To address this challenge, the Zero Deforestation Act was introduced, which prohibits the expansion of the agricultural frontier and any transformation activities in forest areas. This measure is part of a government commitment to transitioning to more sustainable production chains.<\/p>\n

Among the planned actions, the government aims at the sustainable development and strengthening of the forestry sector<\/strong>, intending to increase exports of deforestation-free products and penetrate new markets, such as the European market, on the eve of implementing the new EUDR regulation.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

The project<\/span><\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The EU AL INVEST Green Program (Component 2) project addresses the sustainability challenge in Paraguay’s forestry sector. The primary need is to\u00a0<\/span>improve forest resource management by<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0promoting sustainable practices that ensure the conservation of the natural environment and the well-being of local forest-dependent communities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The project first aims to<\/span>\u00a0assess the current situation<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0of the forestry sector and identify areas that require intervention. Next, it will promote sustainability principles<\/span>\u00a0among producers and companies by\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>providing technical and training support. In parallel, it will strengthen the actors’ capacities in the forest value chain, ensuring an\u00a0<\/span>effective transition<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0to sustainable practices. Finally, it will identify new\u00a0<\/span>market opportunities<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0in sustainable sectors, creating the conditions for adequate access.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Our contribution<\/span><\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

ETIFOR experts are responsible for conducting\u00a0<\/span>diagnostic studies\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>of the forestry\u00a0<\/span>sector<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0analyzing the current landscape and its challenges. The results of these analyses are then compiled and presented in a<\/span>\u00a0report<\/span><\/u><\/a>, <\/span><\/p>\n

which includes an assessment of critical issues and opportunities in Paraguay’s forestry sector. The report also provides practical guidance and strategies for improving the sector’s sustainability, outlining a more responsible and conservation-oriented forest management roadmap. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, ETIFOR coordinates\u00a0<\/span>training<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0for forest value chain actors, providing them with the necessary skills to adopt sustainable practices identified in the report.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
