Asunción, Agencia IP.- Representatives of the Paraguayan Federation of Lumbermen (Fepama) presented a strategic plan for forest-industrial development to the Minister of Industry and Commerce, Javier Giménez. The sector aims to surpass the barrier of USD 100 million in exports in 2024.
Rodrigo Legal, president of Fepama, stated, «2023 was an interesting year. We had a certain fluctuation in exports, but we hope that in 2024, we will start to recover the export levels we are accustomed to and surpass USD 100 million. This year, we aim to exceed the figure again as we did in 2022, reaching around USD 110 million.»
Legal pointed out that markets are active, although less dynamic than at other times. He argued that the guild works within about 50 small markets, including Asian and, most importantly, American and European markets.
The guild currently comprises 80 small and medium-sized companies as direct members, which, when combined with other lumber associations from the interior, totals around 150 affiliated companies.
