Résumé

Costa Rica has an internationally recognized track record for forest and biodiversity conservation, as well as effective actions to combat climate change. This has allowed Costa Rica's forests to become a net sink for greenhouse gases since 2014. Despite the progress made in the conservation agenda, the country's forest sector faces several challenges to improve its performance, as the forest industry is currently underdeveloped and obsolete, requiring support in the development of innovation in production processes and forest products.

This project includes the following main activities:

  1. Conduct a diagnostic assessment of timber availability for the industry, documenting the status of timber forest resources and the installed capacity of the primary processing industry and identifying commercial species by volume, distribution and source of supply.
  2. Facilitate access to the use of timber products by proposing simplified procedures and providing training on issues such as legal requirements and business formalization.
  3. Propose investment programs with a wide range of incentives, developing marketing strategies and training programs aimed at timber industry technicians.
