The state company Maderas del Orinoco (MDO) ended 2025 with results that strengthen the national production model and consolidate the recovery of the Venezuelan forestry sector, increasing its turnover by 152% compared to 2024.

With the increase in turnover, it is possible to allocate resources for investment projects and to cover costs and expenses, thus achieving the implementation of a different management model, based on capacity building, strengthening operational control and generating profitability.

With its own sales resources, MDO reached 22,000 hectares of Caribbean pine planted in the Uverito forest in the last six years, with the establishment of 4,000 hectares in 2025, in addition to producing 6,500,000 acacia mangium seedlings.

In the same way, it achieved a 54% reduction in forest fires within plantations in the Uverito forest, with the construction and maintenance of perimeter firewalls and alternate roads, as well as timely attention during periods of drought.

Hand in hand with the protection of forest heritage, MDO increased its operational capacity to 47%, increasing round-up production by 132% -the highest level in the last 13 years-, increasing the production of pine chips by 600% and exporting more than 99,000 tons of chips to the international market.

In 2025, Maderas del Orinoco generated 737 direct jobs and about 10,000 indirect jobs and carried out more than 40 full days of social care, benefiting more than 1,200 people, according to a press release.
