Domestic consumption has increased to such as level that veneer and plywood mills are working at 100% installed capacity. Mr. Ricardo Dueñas, head of the Forest Products Sector of PROMPERU, said high production levels are expected to continue over the next five or six months. He
noted that the heightened outputs are due mainly to the
high growth of domestic demand and waning export
capacity by companies. Tree species such as capinurí,
catahua and kapok (Ceiba sp.) are primarily used as the
raw material for Peru’s plywood. |
