Destacan el potencial de la foresto industria
De los Rios hizo un balance del Congreso Maderero.
El ministro de Produccion y Desarrollo
Sustentable Martin de los Rios destaco las acciones para promocionar y
financiar la implantacion de bosques cultivados, y tambien para impulsar la
industria bioenergetica, ambas con beneficiosos impactos ambientales. En
relacion al 145° Congreso Maderero que tuvo lugar en Oran, coorganizado por la
Federacion Argentina de Industria Maderera y Afines FAIMA y el Centro de
Obrajeros del Norte, el funcionario senalo su satisfaccion de que se realizara
en Salta, y fundamentalmente en Oran "que fue historicamente tierra de
aserraderos".
El funcionario indico que generar mas
reforestacion significa menor presion a los bosques nativos, "en una
provincia como la nuestra que tiene la mayor superficie del pais".
"En el Congreso Maderero sobre todo
trabajamos en armonizar normas nacionales. Si bien estan previstos distintos
tipos de financiamiento, entendemos la necesidad de actualizar los mecanismos
con el fin de que lleguen a los productores y de esa forma poder generar mas
bosques cultivados, no solo de especies exoticas de rapido crecimiento, sino
tambien especies autoctonas que a la postre tienen mayor valor", enfatizo
el titular de la cartera productiva y explico que se trata de una cadena
productiva de lento retorno por el periodo que toma el desarrollo de cada
arbol.
En relacion a la industria de
biocombustibles, de los Rios destaco el beneficioso impacto ambiental que
generaria aumentar paulatinamente el corte de biocombustibles en las naftas.
"Es algo que no valoramos en su total dimension" – subrayo –
"Las cadenas bioenergeticas generan arraigo, empleo y valor en origen.
Agregar valor a nuestra produccion primaria, como el caso de la cana de azucar,
de la cual se genera bioetanol.
Destaco el trabajo realizado en el marco de
la Liga Bioenergetica de Provincias, que Salta integra: "Presentamos al
secretario de Bioeconomia Fernando Vilella un proyecto".
El funcionario indico que otras de las
politicas publicas promovidas por el Gobierno Provincial es el acceso de los
productores al mercado de creditos de carbono para bosques implantados, tanto
de especies nativas como exoticas. En ese sentido destaco la experiencia del
proyecto Selvas de Urundel que ya fue certificado por VERRA.

The 2025 Rural Expo will be the scene of a key day for the development of forest-industry and its link with carbon markets
Under the motto Business for an Argentine that grows: Foresto-Industria and Carbon Markets, the meeting will be held on Thursday, July 24, from 3:00 p.m. to 16:30, in the auditorium of the Argentine Rural Society (SRA), located in Juncal 4450, first floor, in the city of Buenos Aires.
The Argentine tree that begins its life on top and not on the ground: a wonder of the world
In Argentina, an extraordinary and unique tree grows in the world, known by a characteristic as unusual as fascinating: it is not born on the ground, but on other trees. It is a species originally from the Argentine northeast that develops as an epiphyte in its early stages of life. This behavior allows you to settle at the top of the forest before extending its roots to the ground. Present in the provinces of Misiones, Corrientes, Entre Ríos and the north of Buenos Aires, this tree is part of the riverside forests and the jungles in gallery. Admired for its form of growth and its relationship with other species, it fulfills a key ecological role in the coastal ecosystems, offering food and shelter to birds, insects and small mammals. The Higuerón is a tree that begins its life on the branches of another tree, where its seeds germinate, generally transported by frugivorous birds. From there, it develops aerial roots that grow towards the ground, looking for nutrients and water. As these roots swell, they can completely wrap the host tree, a phenomenon that has given rise to the popular name of strangulator (although it does not always kill the tree that sustains it). It can reach up to 15 meters high, and is characterized by having coriacea leaves, small fruits similar to figs, and a white latex that acts as a defense against insects. Its flowers are so small that they can only be observed with magnifying glass and are contained within the fruit. In addition, its wood has been used limitedly in light carpentry and its cortex has medicinal properties recognized in traditional medicine. This tree not only surprises with its biology, but also for its value in the regeneration of the forest and its ability to colonize cracks of old walls and walls, even in urban areas. Trees that grow unusually: where do they come from? According to botanists and ecologists, there are other trees in the world that, such as the Higuerón, have out of the common growth: ? Higuerón (Ficus Luschnathian - Argentina and Brazil): Epiphyte tree that develops aerial roots from the top to the ground. ? Ficus Benghalensis (India): known as Baniano, its aerial roots form true forests from a single copy. ? Ficus aurea (Central America): Typical strangulative tree, with development similar to Higuerón. ? Ceiba Pentandra (Amazonas): develops huge buttresses to hold its height in shallow soils. ? Tabaquillo (Polylepis Australis - Argentina): Grows in High Mountain and its cortex follows in fine layers as paper. ? The Argentine Higueron is a true botanical rarity. Its way of life begins suspended in the air and ends rooted on earth, connecting the sky with the ground. Because of its structural beauty, its contribution to biodiversity and its surprising way of growing, it is one of the most curious and admirable trees of the Forests of the Northeast Argentine.
He is the most resistant wood producer in the world and grows in Argentina: he knows the tree that surprises with its properties
? In the north, one of the oldest and most resistant trees on the planet survives. ? Its name is Guayacán and has medicinal properties, in addition to an amazing wood.
