About
Nature-based solutions to global problems
Kiri Farming is focused on nature-based solutions to some of our biggest global challenges. We develop carbon plantation projects for native forest protection, renewable timber production and carbon sequestration.
We regenerate undervalued farmland through Paulownia-based agroforestry, using regenerative practices that restore ecosystem function, soils and biodiversity. Our ultimate goal: restore and reforest millions of acres into productive agroforestry landscapes.

Unique Paulownia tree
Paulownia, the world's fastest-growing tree
Also known as the Kiri tree, this botanical marvel is native to China. In nature it reaches 20–30 metres with a trunk up to 2 metres wide. We grow Shan Tong, a premium ultra-growth genetic species.
15.0 m
Through advanced cultivation our Shan Tong trees reach about 15 metres in just 7 years. Drag to see them grow.
Plant once, harvest for a century
The root system lives up to 100 years. After every harvest the tree regenerates from its roots. No replanting, saving time, money and resources.
Unmatched resilience
Drought-resistant, thrives on many soil types and withstands −20 °C to +47 °C. Bulgaria's climate is the perfect place for Paulownia to flourish in Europe.
A powerhouse for the planet
Massive broad leaves let one hectare absorb up to 130 tons of CO₂ a year. Backed by over 10 years of hands-on Kiri cultivation.

CO₂ credit
Carbon credits: capture CO₂, grow value.
By capturing CO₂ and locking it in trees, roots and soil, we restore biodiversity, enrich soil health and regulate the water cycle.
A single Paulownia tree absorbs on average 100 kg of CO₂ a year while releasing an equal amount of oxygen. Our projects follow the PM.0001 short-rotation Paulownia methodology by Proba and align with the Paris Agreement and the UN REDD+ programme, meeting standards such as Gold Standard and Verra.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a KIRI token?
A KIRI token represents ownership of a specific Paulownia tree on our plantation. GPS coordinates, photos, planting date and growth data are linked to it, and you can follow your tree through your personal dashboard.
Where is the Paulownia plantation?
In the village of Pevets, about 30 km from Targovishte in northeastern Bulgaria. Warm summers, mild winters and expert soil management give Paulownia ideal growing conditions.
Why Paulownia?
Paulownia Shan Tong is the world's fastest-growing tree: about 15 metres in 7 years. Its roots live up to 100 years and regrow after every harvest, so no replanting is needed. The wood is light, strong and in demand across the EU.
When is the harvest?
The investment period is 7 years. The first harvest on our plantation is expected in 2029.
How are returns generated?
From the sale of timber at harvest and from carbon credits. Token holders receive 75% of the revenue from their trees. The calculator above shows the minimum harvest scenario.
How much CO₂ does a Paulownia tree absorb?
On average 100 kg of CO₂ per tree per year. One hectare of our plantation absorbs up to 130 tons of CO₂ a year.
What are the risks?
Natural disasters (the plantation is insured), price fluctuations in timber and carbon credits, and regulatory changes. We are fully transparent, but every investment carries risk.
Can I sell my token?
Yes. KIRI tokens can be traded on Uniswap, transferred to anyone or used as DeFi collateral.
What if I change my mind?
We offer a 30-day investment return policy.
