“I am an Acquilarian!”
The Acquilaria tree is close to my heart and I fear that people are cutting down these trees without adequate replanting. There is a risk that one day these valuable trees will disappear from the face of the earth. I have a vision for Agarwood in the Lao PDR with a 100,000 hectare plantation. This will earn the country much-needed export revenues and provide employment for huge numbers.
In addition to this, our Group is focusing on mining projects and medium-sized hydropower plants in the Lao PDR. Several mining concessions in Sekong and Khammouan provinces are currently under exploration or feasibility studies are underway. We also have a hydropower generation project in Champassak Province.
