The document summarizes an afforestation project by Asia Reforestation Group (ARG) to plant 400 hectares of Paulownia trees in Vietnam, with 100 hectares intercropped with bananas. ARG will raise $2.7 million to plant 100 hectares and $8.8 million to plant the remaining 300 hectares. The project aims to profit from selling carbon credits and timber over 8-year cycles. Paulownia is a fast-growing tree suitable for the climate and soils in Vietnam.
