What we do

Sunshine Technology establishes sustainable commercial forestry plantations in tropical and sub-tropical regions, combining the most technically and economically effective silviculture available with proven management methods. Our short-rotation, high-yield forestry plantations will create value in three areas: WOOD PRODUCTS, BIOENERGY and CARBON CREDITS.

 

Feasability, Planning, Land Acquisition
Feasibility studies are conducted in cooperation with local government planning institutes. Sites are selected based on cost, potential for biological growth, soil quality, rainfall and topographic criteria as well as their proximity and access to local and international markets. Regional forest management units are planned in accordance with land requirements designed to ensure the profitability of each management unit.
The primary focus is to secure deforested land and establish new plantations, although acquisition of existing commercial plantations is considered when specific criteria are met. Our aim is to help reduce global warming by sequestering carbon through reforestation; wherever possible, land eligible for generation of carbon credits is secured.
We will not acquire native forest for the purpose of commercial exploitation.

Forest plantation establishment and management
Once land rights are secured, plantation operations begin with a focus on advanced technical quality, safety, social and environmental responsibility, and cost management. Plantations are established primarily with short-rotation, high-yield (SRHY) species and target  Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification. By utilizing the most technically and economically effective silviculture and management methods, we aim to produce consistently high wood yields.

Harvesting, Transportation and Processing
We have built flexibility into our business model that allows us to respond to changing market demands. Throughout our land acquisition and plantation operations processes, we are always seeking to optimise the value of our crop, through methods such as careful site-species matching, market-driven harvest scheduling, and targeting multiple and varied end products.
