foreign-owned, commercial forestry
operator in China, Sino-Forest operates
in ten key provinces in China, with over
2,000 full-time employees, managing
approximately 327,000 hectares of
plantation trees as at June 30,
2008. We continuously increase our
plantation portfolio, our plantation
yield and our range of forest products
and services, while preserving local
ecological environments and supporting
local employment and community
development. We are uniquely positioned to reap
value from China’s vast market potential.
The enormous population and the
fast-growing economy and middle class of
the People’s Republic of China (PRC) are
creating strong demand for industrial and
consumer wood-based products. We believe
that we have the competitive advantages
and proven strategies to reach our bold
but realistic goals for the future.
