This will be followed by a day-long business session, consisting of presentations and discussion on subjects such as sustainable forestry, trade and supply of wood, logistics and distribution, computer pallet design, food safety and changes to the ISPM 15 regime.
This year, the subjects of governmental biomass subsidies and increasing competition will be high on the agenda.
