The Peruvian forestry sector has suffered a severe setback in recent years. Since the intervention and seizure of significant volumes of illegal timber in 2015 and 2016, and the alerts issued in the countries of destination such as the USA, the demand for wood products from Peru has decreased considerably. Data from the Peruvian custom services show that timber exports in January have fallen by 20% compared to January 20161 while reported by theNational Statistical Office (INEI) volumes in primary timber processing decreased near to 35% in the same period2. Thus, not only timber exporters are in a challenging situation, but the entire Peruvian timber industry.
