The Guatemala Forest Group consists of seven companies that manufacture products such as doors, furniture and bamboo veneers.
In an article in Siglo21.com.gt the entrepreneur and member of the Commission of Furniture Manufacturers and Forest Products (Cofama), Gerardo Gandara, said: "We have a fairly wide range of wood products and are joining forces to promote ourselves commercially abroad in the best way possible".
The slowness of local authorities to grant permits to wood exporters prevents them from taking advantage of the available resources in the country.
2020 was a complicated year for the sector, as Nicaraguan exports were considerably reduced due to the pandemic. In addition to this phenomenon, exporters face complications when it comes to obtaining the corresponding permits, a situation that prevents them from doing business in emergency scenarios.
