Ministry of Environment presented the applications of new technologies for forest management in Panama. Lourdes Garc\u00eda Armuelles Panama East is characterized by having the highest concentration of such plantations. In Panama, 98% of wood-related exports mostly consist of teak, a non-native species, confirmed Bianca Moran, President of the Panamanian Exporters Association (Apex). \u00a0 \u00ab98% of Panama&#8217;s exports are teak. We&#8217;re talking about between 7 and 10 40-foot containers annually, valued at over $30 million,\u00bb Moran reported during a press briefing on Tuesday, June 25th. \u00a0 Panama East is known for its predominant presence of these types of plantations, although there is also some presence throughout the country, including in the province of Chiriqu\u00ed. \u00a0 The accumulated hectares of existing forest plantations reach 80,000, as informed by the Apex president. While teak remains one of the country&#8217;s largest export commodities, Moran clarified that the activity \u00abhas been fluctuating,\u00bb depending heavily on market demand. \u00a0 \u00abTeak is a commodity, much like copper and gold. So, it depends on the demand in the market. For example, this year in Europe, one of our largest markets, is experiencing an economic recession,\u00bb she emphasized. \u00a0 Teak is primarily used for outdoor furniture. Its significant presence in Panama has positioned the country as one of the largest certified producers in the region. \u00a0 To continue leveraging these advantages, the Apex president called for promoting the arrival of more certified forestry investors. The event continued with a deep dive into sustainability and the use of renewable and recyclable raw materials, presented by Denise Cisneros from Tetra Pak. Additionally, Bianca Mor\u00e1n Johansson shared insights on how forestry cultivation in Panama is contributing to sustainable development in the region, creating dignified job opportunities, and promoting innovative practices. This sector is the largest contributor to CSS in Dari\u00e9n. Alvaro Castillo de la direcci\u00f3n Forestal, secci\u00f3n Patrimonio Natural del Ministerio de Ambiente Roberto Barrios | La Estrella de Panam\u00e1 \u00c1lvaro Castillo, from the Natural Heritage section of the Ministry of Environment&#8217;s Forestry Directorate, mentioned that Panama promotes legal timber trade while also respecting forest preservation. \u00a0 He explained that to oversee the export process, the entity plays a role in inspecting wood processing areas and verifying that the timber reaches the market through legal channels. This involves forest registration, operational certification, export guides, sales invoices, and other procedures. \u00a0 \u00abWith this entire package, the export transportation proceeds to the port. From there, Customs takes over,\u00bb said Castillo, who acknowledges the interest shown by companies in complying with these regulations.

Ecotopia Teak","og_description":"The Ministry of Environment presented the applications of new technologies for forest management in Panama. Lourdes Garc\u00eda Armuelles Panama East is characterized by having the highest concentration of such plantations. In Panama, 98% of wood-related exports mostly consist of teak, a non-native species, confirmed Bianca Moran, President of the Panamanian Exporters Association (Apex). \u00a0 \u00ab98% of Panama&#8217;s exports are teak. We&#8217;re talking about between 7 and 10 40-foot containers annually, valued at over $30 million,\u00bb Moran reported during a press briefing on Tuesday, June 25th. \u00a0 Panama East is known for its predominant presence of these types of plantations, although there is also some presence throughout the country, including in the province of Chiriqu\u00ed. \u00a0 The accumulated hectares of existing forest plantations reach 80,000, as informed by the Apex president. While teak remains one of the country&#8217;s largest export commodities, Moran clarified that the activity \u00abhas been fluctuating,\u00bb depending heavily on market demand. \u00a0 \u00abTeak is a commodity, much like copper and gold. So, it depends on the demand in the market. For example, this year in Europe, one of our largest markets, is experiencing an economic recession,\u00bb she emphasized. \u00a0 Teak is primarily used for outdoor furniture. Its significant presence in Panama has positioned the country as one of the largest certified producers in the region. \u00a0 To continue leveraging these advantages, the Apex president called for promoting the arrival of more certified forestry investors. The event continued with a deep dive into sustainability and the use of renewable and recyclable raw materials, presented by Denise Cisneros from Tetra Pak. Additionally, Bianca Mor\u00e1n Johansson shared insights on how forestry cultivation in Panama is contributing to sustainable development in the region, creating dignified job opportunities, and promoting innovative practices. This sector is the largest contributor to CSS in Dari\u00e9n. Alvaro Castillo de la direcci\u00f3n Forestal, secci\u00f3n Patrimonio Natural del Ministerio de Ambiente Roberto Barrios | La Estrella de Panam\u00e1 \u00c1lvaro Castillo, from the Natural Heritage section of the Ministry of Environment&#8217;s Forestry Directorate, mentioned that Panama promotes legal timber trade while also respecting forest preservation. \u00a0 He explained that to oversee the export process, the entity plays a role in inspecting wood processing areas and verifying that the timber reaches the market through legal channels. This involves forest registration, operational certification, export guides, sales invoices, and other procedures. \u00a0 \u00abWith this entire package, the export transportation proceeds to the port. From there, Customs takes over,\u00bb said Castillo, who acknowledges the interest shown by companies in complying with these regulations.
