Component 2: Forest Competitiveness
Pro-Bosques improves private sector engagement in forest sector activities through increased efficiency in the use and transformation of forest resources, reducing deforestation rates and illegal logging.
Private forest sector enterprises struggle to stay afloat with timber demand decreasing and outdated equipment for timber transformation. Pro-Bosques aims to increase their competitiveness through management best practices, innovation and access to new and improved markets, and promotes legal timber trade through public purchase initiatives and legal access to forests for small land holders.
