< Home

This user group supports private and community tropical timber producers engaged in the responsible management of natural forests and plantations and their marketing of logs, flitches and poles. It will promote the marketing of logs of lesser-used species by certified forest producers. (To view example, click Brosimum alicastrum).

Over time the editorial panel may recommend other areas, such as technical information exchanges on topics like sustainable harvesting techniques in natural forests or tropical plantation establishment, management and harvesting.

ITTO seeks expressions of interest from local producer organizations and senior technical specialists to participate in the editorial panel for this user group. Please contact: Ramon Carrillo, carrillo@itto.int

(For more on forest policy and governance, see www.itto.int).

Lumber & Panels

Posted On: Filed Under:

< Home

This user group supports small and medium-sized producers of tropical lumber, veneer, wood panels, poles and engineered wood products. It will deliver technical and commercial information and collaborate with local entities in their outreach efforts.

Depending on the priorities of local partners, this space could also be used as a “meeting place” to support joint development programs by forest producers and downstream wood manufacturers. For example, a joint program could develop log grades and lumber grades tailored for furniture manufacturers or lumber grades for structural wood construction.
