A study on timber tracking by Guatemala’s National Forest Institute (INAB) has added considerably to understanding of timber flows in the country’s three most important timber areas. Combined, the provinces of Guatemala and Chimaltenago and the municipality of San Agustín Acasaguastlán produce 45% of the country’s timber volume, including processed products such as sawnwood, wood chips, plywood and particleboard. The timber-tracking study, which is an output of ITTO project TFL-PPD 040/13 Rev.2 (M), identifies the sources of raw materials and the destinations of processed products.
