First, its fibers are particularly well suited to making paper, and are widely used to manufacture writing paper, packaging, cardboard and other uses.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a fast-growing tree. In the fertile soils and warm climate of Indonesia a tree can be ready for harvest in as little as five years, compared to 25 in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Acacias also help fix the soils structure, helping prevent floods and landslides. This is especially important in hilly or mountainous areas, but the tree also does well in lowlands.<\/p>\n<p>Our nurseries produce\u00a0150 million seedlings per year, providing a constant supply of this sustainable resource. We are also committed to conserving the same amount of natural forest as the size of our fibre plantation areas as part of our <a href=\"\/en\/sustainability\/sustainability-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sustainability policy. <\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/april.hellopomelo.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Raising-Acacia-Seedlings-in-Pelalawan-Nurser.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"586\" height=\"389\"><\/p>\n<p>Through our <a href=\"\/en\/about-us\/research-development\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">R&amp;D efforts<\/a> and silviculture we\u2019ve been able to increase the annual yield of our trees from 22m<sup>3<\/sup> per hectare per year in 1996 to 32m<sup>3<\/sup> per hectare per year in 2010, and hope to increase this to 35m<sup>3<\/sup> by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 The acacia tree is a common sight in Indonesia, where it is widely used by the pulp and paper industry.
