Curious how an investment could yield 18% annual interest? With FF Forest, these returns are made possible by the solid fundamentals of Latvia's booming forestry sector and a data-driven, sustainable investment approach.
Latvia is one of Europe's most forested countries, with over 50% of its territory covered in woodland. The forestry sector is vital to its economy—accounting for about 20% of exports and 7% of GDP. Strong, consistent demand for timber, combined with rising land values and sustainable management, drives this sector’s attractive performance. Leading international brands and investors, such as IKEA and Scandinavian funds, are already active here, showing confidence in the market’s stability and yield.
Investing in Latvian forestry has proven advantages:
Rising land value: Well-managed forests have seen land prices climb by up to 35% per hectare.
High net returns: Lower operating costs than Nordics (e.g., Sweden, Finland) mean more profit.
Sustainability and certification: With FSC and PEFC standards in place, investments are secure, sustainable, and globally marketable.
Latvian forests benefit from internationally recognized certifications (FSC, PEFC), ensuring responsible stewardship and environmental sustainability. Timber prices tend to rise alongside inflation, and land values remain stable—even during economic downturns. Flexible harvesting practices allow managers to wait for peak market conditions, protecting returns. Complete traceability and strong regulation make this asset class both profitable and secure.
FF Forest is able to deliver an 18% annual interest rate by combining multiple strategic advantages:
Direct investment sourcing: We attract investments ourselves instead of using third-party platforms, eliminating 4-7% in direct costs that other platforms typically charge. This means more of each euro goes directly into generating returns for our investors.
Buying below market value: Leveraging the long-term experience of our partners like Timbro—who have purchased 12,000 hectares and sold over 2 million m³ of wood—we are able to acquire forest properties at prices 15% below market value, directly boosting potential profitability.
Unique growth of forest land value: Forest land is a distinct investment class. Regardless of external economic conditions, its value in Latvia has increased by an average of 10% every year for the last 20 years. This is enhanced by the fact that land is a limited resource with constantly growing demand, driving prices even higher. Latvia itself is the 4th most forested country in the EU, with 130,000 private owners—providing an active market and excellent opportunities for investors.
New cash flow through green initiatives: EU "green course" regulations and increased pressure from banks for green investments have created additional sources of revenue, such as CO₂ credit trading. Forests are at the center of this market, providing yet another avenue for increased yields.
Targeted land acquisition: We focus on undervalued forest assets with strong appreciation potential.
Efficient, sustainable operations: Modern methods reduce costs and improve yields.
Ongoing revenue and diversification: Regular timber sales, consistent land value growth, and portfolio diversification—including access to premium export and renewable energy markets—ensure stable cash flow and investor liquidity.
FF Forest’s management combines deep local expertise with a proven focus on value creation, so investor funds are deployed optimally and returns remain strong and sustainable.
Public data shows that forestry investments in Latvia can yield up to 15% a year with traditional methods. FF Forest’s 18% target is made possible by expert asset management, efficient operations, and access to high-demand markets—creating the extra value above market averages.
Few investments combine high returns, security, and environmental responsibility like Latvian forestry. With a proven track record, strong market fundamentals, and transparent, certified management, FF Forest’s 18% annual interest rate is a logical result—not a lofty promise.
