In 2023, we successfully planted over 897,000 trees, including more than 700,000 teak clones grown directly in our facilities. Building on this momentum, in 2024 we surpassed the 1,000,000 tree mark. We now primarily utilize our own internal clones alongside select seeds to ensure best practices and to identify future exceptional teak varieties, ensuring our plantations remain at the forefront of genetic quality.

In addition to our main Scellec nursery in Montería, we manage a strategic network to optimize plant health across the region. Primary production is centralized at our own internal nursery and one specialized contracted facility in Montería, both dedicated to developing clonal teak from our mother plants. We also operate on-farm nurseries at our Las Mercedes and Poza Redonda locations; these sites are essential for acclimatizing and conditioning the plants before they are permanently out-planted.

The ability to generate our own clones gives us a clear competitive advantage, especially given the strict prohibitions on importing teak clones and the increasingly tight laws regarding international seed importation. By maintaining our own high-quality genetic supply chain, we ensure the long-term sustainability and superior growth rates of our teak assets regardless of changing regulatory environments.
