The Brazilian Association of Mechanically Processed Wood Industry (ABIMCI), comprising manufacturers of wood products such as plywood, sawnwood, frames, doors, among others has signed a cooperation agreement with the China Timber and Wood Products Association (CTWPDA) which has over 3,000 members in China.

The goal is to foster closer business ties between the two associations, facilitate access to information between the two Associations and identify trade opportunities between China and Brazil.

According to ABIMCI, Brazil has a real potential for growth in exports and can verify the legal origin of its wood products. Currently, almost 70% of planted forests in Brazil are certified. In 2017, Brazil exported more than 63,000 cubic metres of tropical timber and 328,000 cubic metres of pine sawnwood to China.

The spokesperson for the CTWPDA highlighted the quality of Brazilian wood products and stressed that it is necessary for the Association members to understand the opportunities in Brazil as they work to satisfy Chinese domestic demand.
