There are currently mature Nile Fiber™ Farms under cultivation around the world that provide for a variety of uses including musical instrument reeds, building materials and fencing. The Nile Group, Inc. began the development of Nile Fiber™ farms that it owns or controls for pulp, paper and composite products. Our alliances with private, public and co-op landowners provide an extremely broad base from which the fiber industry is being developed. The methods and techniques of farm development for Nile Fiber™ have been used and proven for over 100 years, providing a stable and eco-friendly environment for its neighbors and community. These techniques optimize planting procedures, fertilization and harvesting to ensure sound environmental practices. It is well established that boundary control and other concerns can be properly managed with minimal effort, so that Nile Fiber™ poses no invasive threat.

A major limitation of timber farms is the extremely long delay between the high-cost planting operation and the economic returns from harvesting. In most cases this is 20-40 years, but Nile Fiber™ farms will provide economic returns within 2-3 years.
