New forest industry grouping sets ambitious targets
A new trade association for the forestry and timber industries forecasts major growth, as the supply of raw material from Irish forests doubles in the period to 2035.
Forest Industries Ireland (FII), officially launched today, predicts €6.4 billion will be earned by 21,000 forest owners who supply the raw timber product, and the many timber contractors and hauliers that harvest and transport it to the sawmills, by 2035.
