Astarte Capital Partners is pleased to be featured in the July 2026 edition of Agri Investor’s Annual Forestry Report, where our Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Dr. Stavros Siokos, shares his perspective on the evolving natural capital landscape and the opportunities for long-term forestry investors.

The interview explores several themes currently shaping institutional investment in forestry, including the increasing importance of manager experience, disciplined underwriting, and operational execution as the natural capital market continues to mature. It also examines how recent market developments are distinguishing long-term investment platforms from more opportunistic approaches.

It also highlights why geography matters. South America, and Paraguay in particular, offers a compelling combination of biological productivity, scalable land availability, regulatory stability and infrastructure, supporting attractive commercial outcomes alongside meaningful environmental and social impact.

Among the topics covered are:

How institutional investor priorities in natural capital are evolving.
The growing distinction between investment fundamentals and market narratives.
Forestry’s role in portfolio diversification, inflation protection and long-term value creation.
The integration of commercial forestry with ecosystem restoration, biodiversity conservation and rural employment.
The role of sustainable wood production in supporting the transition to a lower-carbon economy by providing a renewable alternative to more carbon and resource-intensive materials.
The evolving role of high-integrity carbon markets within sustainable forestry strategies.

As natural capital continues to establish itself as an institutional asset class, we remain focused on developing forestry investment platforms that combine strong commercial fundamentals with measurable environmental and social outcomes.

We thank the Agri Investor team for the opportunity to contribute to this year’s Forestry Report.
