About the project

The company Poemas e Troféus Sociedade Agro-Florestal Unipessoal, Lda, established in 2017, specializes in forestry and agriculture sector. The company mainly provides deforestation and wood processing services in Portugal. The firm grows some seasonal fruits, like watermelon as well.

Now the company is preparing for the harvest of the cork oak and the cutting of 400 hectares of olive grove. To prepare for the process, the firm is borrowing 10.000 € to ensure suitable storage facilities for the cut cork and olive wood until it will be sold to the customers.

How does the cork oak harvest look?

The life cycle of cork begins with the extraction of the material from cork oak bark. It takes around 25 years for an oak to provide cork material for the first harvest, which usually provides the material with a very irregular structure, that can be used for flooring and insulation. After a few harvests, the oak starts producing the better quality cork which can be used to make wine bottle stoppers. 

The harvesting of the cork oak is quite complicated and requires expert skills since it is vital not to harm the trees during the extraction process.

Interesting insights:

  • Cork oak tree forests cover around 2 million hectares of land in the world and Portugal has 34% of the world surface of cork oak forest.
  • The cork grows back once extracted, therefore the extraction process does not harm the tree.
  • It takes nine years for the tree to regrow the cork, and the tree can be harvested between 15 to 18 times during its lifespan, which is 200 years.
