Europe Forestry Inbound Trade Mission to Alabama and Tennessee

Europe has a significant demand for forestry products, including lumber. European markets often offer higher prices for forestry products compared to domestic markets. This can result in increased profitability for producers in the Southern U.S., making exports to Europe financially attractive. The forestry products industry in the South plays a significant role in the economy of the region, which has a rich forest resource base that supports a thriving forestry industry.

Exporting to Europe helps SUSTA companies diversify their customer base and reduce dependence on domestic markets. This diversification strategy can mitigate risks associated with fluctuations in domestic demand and prices. This event will bring buyers from Europe to Alabama and Tennessee, but companies from other states in SUSTA’s region are welcome to participate.
