Paraguay and J.P. Morgan Announce $200 Million Sustainable Forestry Investment
The Office of the President of Paraguay has partnered with J.P. Morgan Natural Capital to invest approximately USD 200 million in a sustainable forestry initiative, announced at the Paraguay Investment Forum NYC 2026. The project will be developed alongside Grupo Robinson and aims to establish commercial forests, restore native ecosystems, and produce timber, carbon credits, and wood products sustainably. The investment is expected to begin capital deployment early in 2027 and focuses on local industrialization of timber production for both domestic use and export. The initiative also emphasizes rural development by creating quality employment opportunities and strengthening communities through sustainable resource management. President Santiago Peña highlighted the importance of this partnership in advancing Paraguay’s economic growth outside major cities. J.P. Morgan Natural Capital, a division of J.P. Morgan Asset Management with over $11 billion under supervision for forest-related investments, has previously raised significant capital for similar projects and is now expanding its footprint into Latin America.
