Iberá is the wetlands region, one of South America's largest biodiversity reserves. That's where this group took its name.
Already established in Argentina's Litoral region, the growth of our work in hemp, biochar, and regenerative agroindustry began to demand something that can't be solved by buying supplies or outsourcing: skilled people trained specifically for these fields, and a structure of our own to seriously research everything new we were developing. That need gave rise to the group's research and training arm, and that's where the same initials took on a second meaning: Instituto Bioindustrial de Energías Renovables Argentinas (Bioindustrial Institute of Argentine Renewable Energy). Today it's one of our most ambitious projects.
We bring together brands that share a common origin and the same logic: what we learn in the field feeds our research, and what we research goes back into the field.
In practice, that means industrial hemp under our own license, regenerative silvopastoral agroindustry, single-origin honey for export, and an active carbon credits program. All of these lines operate under the same system, with a commercial outlet at every stage.
In Monte Caseros, Corrientes, on the family farm their grandparents first settled and which gave Itacumbú its name, Ñandé Raíces now operates as the group's organic propagation nursery. It propagates native species, ornamentals, pecan, and Mbocayá palms. The same property is home to Portal Guaraní, which gathers and showcases regional products.
The Ñandé Raíces model is designed to grow through new sites adapted to each region of the country: vines, pistachio, olive, and native species in Cuyo; oak for truffle inoculation in Buenos Aires. Today, the original site in Monte Caseros is the only one operating.
Pecan, in particular, is one of the group's biggest development bets: we're propagating our first own orchards in the Litoral, with the goal of adding curation and export of Argentine pecan in the medium term, under the same selection criteria we apply across our other brands.
Mission and vision
Turning Argentine biodiversity into world-class products, and into the knowledge that sustains its next stage.
To be Latin America's reference group in regenerative bioindustry.
Genuine origin
Every product comes from a real place and a real story.
Regeneration
We produce so that soil, water, and biodiversity improve over time.
Applied science
Innovation counts when it translates into a better product or a cleaner process.
Curation
We choose quality over volume at every link in the chain.
