ABOUT US
FORESTAL RIO GRANDE
A Costa Rican company
Forestal Rio Grande S. A. (FRG) is a Costa Rican company located in the province of Guanacaste, dedicated to the planting, growing, harvesting, milling and selling of premium teak wood (Tectona grandis). Most of our farms are less than 60 km from the Port of Caldera.
FRG has more than 2 200 productive hectares of teak, ranging between 1 and 20 years old. Our goal is to export the best quality 30-year-old teak to the international market. However, because of our management regime, we have teak of different ages available for sale. The harvest of younger teak is necessary to allow the remaining trees the area needed for growth.
FRG started operations in 2002 and has grown by buying stands and planting new areas.
QUALITY TEAK
We believe that quality teak is a result of:
1. Location
The majority of our farms are located on the best production area of Costa Rica and are less than 60 km from the port of Caldera (on the Pacific coast). We are planting soils that were previously used mainly for cattle raising with the consequent gain in environmental services.
2. Management regime
Silvicultural practices are tailored to the specific needs of each plantation. A team of experts assess the results of past practices and make any necessary arrangements to guarantee the best product possible.
3. Experience
With more than 30 years in the industry, Mr. Luis Sage, PhD. in Forestry Economics leads the agricultural team. Mr. Sage is a well known international consultant, published author, professor and entrepreneur.
4. Service
At FRG we are proud of what we do, and we do it with passion. Our goal is to continue growing and we’d like to do so with you by our side. We guarantee you’ll receive a personalized service and the best experience possible while doing business with us.

COSTA RICA
With an area of only 51,000 square km, it is considered on of the most biodiverse countries in the world. The country's land covers only 0.03% of the earth's surface, yet it contains nearly 6% of the world's biodiversity! Costa Rica has a privileged location, it is in the middle of America, serving as a natural corridor between North and South America. Its location is also strategic, as it has access to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Costa Ricans are very caring of the environment, this explains why more than 25% of the country's land is protected by the National Parks and Reserves's System.
Costa Rica has been independent since 1821 and since 1949 has no military forces. The elimination of the armed forces has helped Costa Rica gain a reputation for being a very stable democracy. This also allowed Costa Ricans to invest in other areas, such as education and health.
