As the world’s largest tannin manufacturer, Tanac wants to encourage production among partner farmers on southern soil.
In today’s edition (9/19) of Jornal do Comércio, Tanac was featured with the report on the incentive of the production of Black Wattle forests in the state of Rio Grande do Sul in partnership with Banco do Brasil. To identify the most adequate financing, those involved, the company, the farmer, and the bank will be discussing to come to the best approach.
Currently, the plantation already mobilizes 30,000 families from Rio Grande do Sul and the idea is to incentive the emergence of new forests of the culture, which has an emphasis on the processing of wood and the use of bark in the tannin production.
Originally from Australia, Black Wattle also occurs in South Africa and in Rio Grande do Sul, where it was brought by immigrants in the beginning of the last century. The culture is also very important from an environmental point of view. The cultivation allows the enrichment of the soil, by the incorporation of organic substrate, besides the fixation of nitrogen. Black Wattle can also be intercropped with cattle, watermelon, pumpkin, and corn.
