📋 Tender Overview
Call will allow modernizing plants and raising the quality of wood production, generating greater added value and local employment.The Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (Midagri), through the National Forestry and Wildlife Service (Serfor), launched a new call for the Forest Incentives Program (PIF Plantations), through which non-refundable economic incentives will be granted to improve small primary wood processing plants.
This is a co-financing scheme where beneficiary organizations will contribute between 10% and 20% of the total amount, while Serfor, through its Sustainable Productive Forests Program (BPS), will finance up to 300 thousand soles.
The objective of the incentive is to close the gap between the plantation and the market, strengthening the sawing, classification and conditioning capacity of wood from commercial forest plantations, which will generate greater added value, local employment and competitiveness in the forestry sector.
The subsidy may cover investments in infrastructure --such as temporary warehouses, storage areas, floors, electrical systems and drainage; machinery and equipment--portable sawmills, planers, saws and squaring machines--; as well as specialized technical services, including verification of the legal origin of raw materials, security, maintenance and others related to installation, rental and management of the business plan.
Native and peasant communities, producer associations and micro, small and medium-sized businesses (MSMEs) from the departments of Cajamarca, Junin, Ancash, Pasco, Huanuco, San Martin and Madre de Dios may participate.
To apply, projects must have a transformation plant, more than 100 hectares of registered forest plantations owned individually or as an association--and present a technical plant design that guarantees safe and efficient operations.
We are taking an important leap: we went from selling raw wood to producing transformed wood, which generates more employment, greater income and less environmental impact. In this way, we modernize the forestry sector, highlighted Daniel Rivera, executive coordinator of the Sustainable Productive Forests Program (BPS) of Serfor.
