Palma, Mallorca, Spain, May 25, 2011 (PRESSbooth.ORG) -- A growing number of multinational businesses have been turning their attention to Costa Rica as a place to invest and start or expand businesses, according to one of the major forestry investment companies, Greenwood Management.
As well as being one of the most beautiful and unspoilt countries in Central America, Costa Rica is a hotbed for investors looking to put their money into an economy that is set for growth.
The country’s strong and stable economy has a lot to do with the attraction it holds for major businesses. The people of the country are well educated, thanks to the government’s willingness to spend on education, while the land is fertile, boosting exports of coffee, bananas and pineapple. Tourism also plays a large part in the country’s success.
In terms of investment from abroad, Intel Corporation employs 3,000 people at its $2 billion plant in Costa Rica, while Procter and Gable, Baxter, Allergin and Del Monte have all also decided to do business in the country, adding to its wealth and economic strength. Also investing in Costa Rica are Colgate, Pfizer, Pepsi, Coca-Cola and Johnson & Johnson.
The country’s fertile land and warm, humid weather also make it perfect for forestry investment, with several major timber firms looking to invest in the region in the coming months and years. These include Emerald Knight, Costa Rica Invest and Greenwood Management, which currently operate several successful forestry plantations in Brazil.
A Greenwood Management spokesperson stated, “Costa Rica is a great place to do business and an increasing number of international businesses are realizing this. It has the strongest growth in the region and is one of the easiest places to invest and do business, according to a World Bank poll.”
The Life Sciences industry is particularly keen on the region and Costa Rica hosted the Life Sciences industry Medical Product Outsourcing Symposium for the second time last week. Gabriela Llobet, the Director General of the Costa Rican Investment Promotion Agency, explained, “This has positioned Costa Rica as an ideal destination among specialized groups such as MPO looking to host high level events of this nature. This gives us the opportunity to promote Costa Rica for potential investment projects.”
“For anyone looking to invest in an emerging market at the beginning of its ascent, we would recommend Costa Rica,” concluded the Greenwood Management spokesperson.
