Our Challenge
Mexico has experienced the effects of deforestation in a dramatic loss of pine resin production, yet paradoxically is in a prime position to capitalize on the opportunity to satisfy global demand and lead the industry globally.
The global demand for pine resin derivatives has grown steadily for decades; while global deforestation has been a driver of diminishing supply. This is the case in Mexico, which now produces one-third as much resin as 60 years ago. In turn, there has been a contraction of refinery operations, and working refineries are currently under-utilized.
To increase Mexican resin supply, solutions are necessary to innovate and adapt to the complex social, political, and economic context of Michoacán, which is the best and largest source of Mexican pine resin.
Profitable, stable & growing market
In 2016, the Mexican Government registry stated the annual production of 22,000 tons of crude resin in Mexico, representing 1-2% of the global market.
Mexican industry processes 50% of Mexico’s production of crude pine resin, positioning us with 0.5% of the global market.
Just five years ago, China accounted for more than 70% of global exports of gum rosin. By 2017, it had shifted to being a net importer of pine rosin.
The Pine Chemical Industry
The pine chemical industry is a 10 billion USD global industry. Mexico is in the top five producers of oleoresin, along with China, Brazil, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
Industrial and Consumer Goods
The pine chemical industry is responsible for essential ingredients in hundreds of consumer and industrial goods. Technological innovations have transformed the use of pine chemicals with widespread applications into dozens of new markets, including electronics, food products, and pharmaceuticals.
After centuries of innovation, the industry is also part of the growth of renewable bio-based products:
- Adhesives
- Foods & beverages
- Inks
- Road Paints
- Pharmaceuticals
