The ITTO Annual Market Discussion 2014, organized by the Organization’s Trade Advisory Group (TAG), took place on Wednesday, the 5th of November 2014 with the theme “Domestic and emerging international markets – a changing market landscape”. The theme chosen by the TAG reflects the economic growth across Asia, Latin America and Africa in recent years, which is changing the nature of the global wood products market and is gradually shifting demand from west to east.
