Dendotron takes pride in its innovative, eco-conscious Eucalyptus harvesting methods, reducing the carbon footprint while maximizing returns on these valuable biological assets.
Eucalyptus stands as a cornerstone of the agribusiness sector in KwaZulu-Natal, with an impact on a diverse range industries. These versatile trees serve as a key input for several sectors, including steel production, paper manufacturing, charcoal production, furniture crafting, construction projects, and power generation, to name just a few. Eucalyptus, with its remarkable adaptability and rapid growth, has become a linchpin for economic sustainability in the region.
One of the striking aspects of eucalyptus cultivation in KZN is the relatively short crop rotation cycle. Trees are harvested when they reach approximately 30 meters in height, a process that typically repeats itself every seven years. This efficient rotation cycle ensures a steady supply of high-quality raw materials while contributing to sustainable resource management.
Dendotron takes pride in its pioneering approach to optimising eucalyptus harvesting. Our carefully developed processes prioritise not only the efficient extraction of the biological assets but also environmental responsibility, respecting the delicate balance between the plantations and the surrounding ecology. We are dedicated to minimising our carbon footprint and adhering to sustainable forestry practices. By employing cutting-edge techniques and technologies, we have achieved a harmonious balance between preservation and economic prosperity.
