THE FARM

The plantation is in northeast of the country in the department of Izabal.

We can proudly say that Kampura is the only farm in Guatemala to have all of the SGU (Guatemala Selection) clones, which is a collection of native Guatemalan clones done in the 1960’s.

In Kampura 700 ha of deforested land had been converted into forests. They have planted over 625,000 trees in the farm. Impact made by the rubber plantation is made and the carbon offsets are sold in the voluntary market. In Kampura, we are preserving and enriching our natural forests.
