APICOFOM: 1947 al 2025
The 78th Anniversary of Apicofom finds us as a reference institution of the forest national industry, the result of a constant, coherent and responsible work. Almost 8 decades are reflected today in a solid present, with the legitimacy that supports us when promoting, proposing and implementing sectoral actions in all levels where public policies are decided.
To his industrial profile, Apicofom was contributing objectives that enhance the activity. We assume a commitment to the formation and training of all members of the Forest Cluster, understanding that the knowledge sector is an indeliable part of the present and the future sector. The courses, the specializations and the university diploma in design and efficient construction in wood - which was organized together with the National University of Misiones (UNAM) - are the right expressions of that ideal. Public, a work extends on a day to day to raise ideas, actions and claims. The effective commissioning of the fiscal deposit of the Port of the City of Posadas, the repeal or reduction of taxes and fees that negatively tax the most important productive activity of the province of Misiones, the reactivation of public works and the urgent modification of the statute of the Infopro to understand that it is important to establish non -mandatory reference prices; They are some of the most relevant issues in our agenda. This work can only be carried out thanks to the almost 150 companies associated with our institution. We are a story of entrepreneurs, of families with dreams, efforts and commitments, of projects with joys and frustrations, of conducive times and others not so much, but always with the effort to last, grow and provide work. We approve the celebration to highlight the importance of our activity, which generates employment, development and resources for the benefit of the whole society, and we continue to bet on the work that strengthens our institution, with the contributions that make our institutions.

Unusual finding: a pine forest in excellent condition emerges after 6,000 years buried under the ice
In the world there are millions of forests. Some are close to urban centers, others in remote and inaccessible places, but they all fulfill a key role: maintain the balance of the planet. They are literally the lung of the earth. When talking about a new forest, the first thing that comes to mind is usually reforestation, a recent plantation or the recovery of an area razed by fire. But this discovery is on another way. It is not a forest sown recently. It is an old forest, which was there for thousands of years, buried under the ice. And now, with the thaw caused by global warming, he has emerged again.
