For rural producers
Noble timber that fits your farm's cycle.
Mogno Bahia® combines selected genetics, guided forest management and the GWG Protocol to deliver noble timber on an economic cycle of ≈ 10 years — with A+ quality validated by the IPT.
Ten years, not thirty.
Noble timber has always demanded patience measured in decades. Mogno Bahia® was developed to challenge that paradigm: a commercial forest with an economic cycle of just ten years, with no thinning and two commercial harvests.
Half the forest is harvested in year 5. The other half in year 10.
No tree is removed along the way without generating value. Every one takes part in the forest's commercial output.
Two ways to grow noble timber
Half the seedlings · half the time
almost twice the wood.
The cycle in numbers
Fine wood. By the numbers.
Year 5 · first cut
100–120 m3/ha
Quality A · ~85% heartwood
First return of the cycle, still halfway through the route.
Year 10 · second cut-off
430–450 m3/haA+
Quality A+ · IPT validation
Complete economic cycle, with established premium quality.
Total · complete cycle
530–570 m3/ha
over 10 years
Total accumulated volume from the two harvests of the cycle.
Noble aplications
It's not just a faster cycle. It's wood for noble applications.
At 10 years
Predominantly heartwood
Applications
furniture · architecture · interiors.
Who's behind it
More than 30 years of forest research. Applied in the field.
We develop smart forests — living systems capable of producing noble timber with unprecedented productivity, efficiency and predictability.
Forest Biotechnology
Genome Wood Group
Mogno Bahia® grew out of more than 30 years of observing wood in the field, led by a family of woodworkers in Western Bahia. The result is a new genetic foundation for noble tropical hardwood production

The choice of those who know best
Rodrigo Azevedo, at the Selva Florestal nursery in Porangatu.
I traveled all across Brazil looking for mahogany. Here is where I was impressed — and I decided to plant it on my own land.

Onboarding process
Four steps. No commitment until the site is validated.
Start the site's technical assessment
Initial information for a technical analysis of the property's forestry suitability
Receive the site's technical diagnosis
The GWG team analyzes the site's suitability, recommends the planting model and structures the project's technical proposal.
Formalize the seedling order
Once the site is technically approved, the producer formalizes the seedling purchase and reserves the project's planting window.
Access the GWG technical ecosystem
Activation of the GWG Protocol, access to the Mogno Bahia® Producer Platform and continuous technical support throughout the forest cycle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What producers usually ask.
What if my region doesn't respond well to Mogno Bahia®?
How do I know the promised productivity will hold up in practice?
Is there a real market for this wood?
And when it's time to harvest? How do I sell the wood?
Is it worth switching from (or adding to) the African mahogany I already plant?
What is the real investment and how is it structured?
Initial assessment
Assess your site's potential for Mogno Bahia®.
Our technical team analyzes your region's conditions and comes back with initial guidance, technical materials and, where applicable, a personalized proposal for forest planting.
Specialized technical assessment
Climate, soil, terrain and operational context analyzed by the GWG team.
No commercial commitment
Site validation happens before the seedlings are released.
Personalized recommendation
Each project receives technical parameters matched to its region and operational scale.
