Peru: Potential for $ 5 billion forest product exports

Aug 22, 2013. /Lesprom Network/. Peru's forest product exports have the potential to grow to as much as $5 billion in 10 years because of the positive impact of the new National Forestry Policy and Wildlife (PNFFS), ITTO reported.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation stressed that at present wood product exports contribute just 1% to GDP but this can change as the sector will benefit from the sound legal framework provided by the new forest policy.
