A BIODIVERSITY PLUS

The various climatic zones of the Andes and the fertile soil in the coastal region of Ecuador provide present perfect conditions for the cultivation of many agricultural products that are in great demand in Europe.

Plants from which herbal extracts, essential oils and spices are sourced thrive in the warm climate of South America just as well as tropical fruits. The focus is on ecological farming, which the Ecuadorian government directly promotes. 

In addition, Ecuador is famous as the rose-growing country. Small and medium-sized producers in particular supply roses with long, powerful stems and large flower heads. 

Ecuador has now also become a sought-after supplier of plantation teak, which originally was native to Asia. The many small and medium-sized enterprises in particular offer persuasively high-quality timber products sourced from legal and sustainable forestry.

The same applies for all products: IPD connects European importers with tried-and-tested producers.

However, its vast topographical diversity also makes Ecuador interesting for tourism. Anyone seeking to offer holiday travel off the beaten mass tourism track will find fascinating travel destinations here in the Andes highlands, in the Amazon Basin, on the scenic beaches or on the unique Galapagos Islands. IPD promotes sustainable tourism and mediates selected suppliers of nature, cultural and adventure tourism in Ecuador for European tourism specialists.
