Mogno Bahia® — 2 years
Fazenda Forest, Serra Dourada — Western Bahia, Brazil
Mogno Bahia®
Premium by design.
Developed over four generations of genetic improvement within the Melia genus, Mogno Bahia® produces high-value tropical hardwood with physical properties validated by the Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas (IPT), achieving A and A+ quality grades under the GWG Protocol.
A new foundation for high-value tropical hardwood.
For centuries, high-value hardwood depended on natural forests and long biological cycles. Today, it can be produced at scale within a 10-year economic cycle.
Mogno Bahia® leads this transition.
