Timber Market Development
A3P conducts a Timber Market Development program on behalf of its members to address the many on-going industry-wide issues associated with the production, end-use application and marketing of plantation timber products. Many of these issues have the potential to affect the profitability of the plantation timber sector and its reputation as a credible supplier of “”fit-for-purpose” building products.
Key program areas are:
Support on structural timber issues
- Timber grading, properties and standards
- Timber applications, limitations and market acceptance
Adverse building specifications
- Identify, monitor and assist in addressing key issues
- Support standards, codes and specification initiatives
In delivering this program A3P works with kindred timber and building industry groups, governments and other stakeholders. Regular contact with A3P members ensures a consensus approach where required and provides A3P with strong representational ability when dealing with issues that affect or could potentially affect the sector.
