The natural rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) forests of Mavalle were established on unproductive savannah soils located in the Puerto Lopez – Puerto Gaitan corridor, in the department of Meta, Colombia. The establishment of such forests has brought a wide range of environmental benefits to the region, including climate change mitigation, reduced pressure on native forests, recovery of water flows, and protection of existing flora and fauna.
The agro-industrial activity of Mavalle has been driven, within a framework of corporate social responsibility, by the continuous search for the highest quality standards, environmental protection, sustainable development of agriculture and the prosperity of neighboring communities, including indigenous communities such as Wacoyo.
