After I had visited a small farm, introduced himself to me, of course, the question of what exactly is an agricultural Still life in a big way because of? Exactly why the landowners continue in Paraguay as large cars and how you managed a large piece of land in Paraguay, where the government usually can not even ensure that the Land and to a road or electricity and water connected? A work colleague of mine drew my attention to the group Espirito Santo, not only in Paraguay but invests globally with success. The success of this group from Brazil is that they are not one-sided investment, but in addition to the financial industry on a journey and an agricultural industry, so-called "Real Assets" familiar. Offered me a glimpse into the business of the group in Paraguay by a visit to the Estancia Golondrina. Wonderfully comfortable, I traveled with the Director of Group Espirito Santo in Paraguay in a huge, well-tempered by an air-conditioned car in the direction of the vast forests and fields the farm.





over a 17 km dirt road that branches off from the Route 7 approximately at km 235, you get to the entrance of the huge ranch with natural forest reserve. Even while crossing a bridge as a model held in the director told me that all this is held by the owners in state. Man charged in Paraguay while just 10 percent tax must be expected but not that way, electricity or water can be a somewhat provided! economic activity in the heart of dreamers who want nothing more sensual, than at any time on your own land in Paraguay profitable, can A visit to the 24 000 hectares of land in the department Caazapa beat faster. As the director has important things to do, he makes me a forest and an agricultural expert to the side, just as a tourist industry, a driver and a big jeep and sent me free to explore the far reaches of the ranch! would admire

Each of agriculture in a big way, coming in at a drive through the grounds, past more than 1000 hectares of sunflower, soy 6000 hectares and 500 hectares of cotton plantations, to its cost.

endless meander past the paths laid by virgin forest, tree lined avenues, past fields and pastures, to the end of horizon. Even a glimpse of the Paraguayan cattle industry offers to the eye of the beholder at the Estancia 1500 Braford cattle graze vast variety of the surfaces. The complete cycle, from reproduction to produce cattle for slaughter, takes place on the different farms of the group Espirito Santo in Paraguay. Golondrina is specialized in agriculture, leaving the bulk of the other cattle ranches around the country. Here grazing animals remotely reminiscent of the little skinny cows that you admire on smaller ranches can.

is here made the effort to provide the animals with concentrates during periods of drought. To manage this vast ranch successfully, more than 230 direct employees are needed in the harvest phase be supplemented by additional service personnel. The magnitude of the Estancia is playing shows at the giant silos that can hold up to 6,000 tons, as well as on the giant fleet of both harvesters, trucks and other agricultural equipment provides.

1976 came the entrepreneurs group Espírito Santo to Paraguay and acquired the fertile soil in Caazapa for just 130 dollars per hectare. "You can see the times of the resources located on the bottom, it costs of hectares in the region today for the 2800 dollars, "explains Luis Arrellaga Engineer, General Director of Group Espirito Santo Paraguay. 1977 Sociedad Agrícola Golondrina SA was founded, which still forms the heart and center of the administration activities of Espírito Santo Paraguay. Originally there were 20 000 hectares of land on the forest and 4000 hectares of natural soils. In the first years of the big business with the mining and sale of the trees was made, developed from 87 before the still existing livestock. The group Espirito Santo has been hit by financial crisis. "Above all, the financial sector has had to make heavy losses, while we make in the agricultural sector of the fall in prices compared to the peak levels this year in order to create the 30-45%, "says engineer Arrellaga. He further explained that the high prices unlikely that mid-year has been made, were leveled by this invasion and the show until next year, is how the financial crisis will be responsible for the red.

A special feature of the Estancia Golondrina is the natural forest management and care of the natural forest reserve Ypetî. To over 50% of the total area is still largely untouched jungle. 2700 hectares of natural tropical forest is managed since 2003, economically, socially and ecologically sustainable. Willson Fleitas is the person responsible for the care and the reduction of in the forest are be 65 trees. The credibility of sustainable use, a certification completed by the Forest Stewardship Council. Because the reserve is an excellent example of the typical for the region of the forest, he became a "protected wild nature area in private ownership states." Decree with the number 21 346 in 2003 interested in the site invaded farmers but little. In the course of domestically increasingly frequent sieges of private property by landless farmers understand the revolutionary peasants on natural forests as lying land that they could be made available. An open court case against the squatters broke is already taken a verdict against them already like it, just waiting executed by the police be. However, to proceed at the moment in all corners of the land against squatters must, can ever take some time before the non-invited guests will go back. In a beautiful country house, I took a great meal to me. Journalists are treated in this country really excellent. I pressed a little remote control in hand. This pressed the electric bell, which tells the clerk that I would like a lookup, or anything else wanted. Because the food and service were excellent, however, I have this only operated to me to thank the employees and to say goodbye.

most of all I would like stayed in the beautiful house surrounded by cows and pastures, but I wanted to be back in time for dinner with my loved ones. Something sad and totally spoiled I boarded the crowded bus back to Asuncion.
