Products
Cardamom
Since 2020, NovaforestTM established new green cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) plantations in the fertile Southern slopes of Fuego Volcano, located in the department of Escuintla, in Guatemala’s Pacific coast.
Novaforest opted for a sustainable agroforestry model, where cardamom plants are shaded by natural rubber trees and benefit from the rich, deep soils and abundant rainfall in the area.
Pallets
Reusable or single use cargo pallets are produced from owned renewable plantations. Pallets assembled from eucalyptus wood are resistant, durable and less prone to fungi even in humid or refriegerated conditions. Our industrial process is flexible to build different models and includes a thermal treatment in adherence of MAGA standards (Guatemalan Ministry of Agriculture) that allows use of our pallets for the food industry.
