Ms. Mariane Camargo
Market Trends in Softwood Moulding
and Plywood Exports from Brazil
Free with RSVP day before
presentation or $7 museum
admission at the door
RSVP to: Angie DiSalvo adisalvo@worldforestry.org 503-488-2137
Brazil, besides being the world’s largest exporter of softwood
plywood and fencing, is also the second largest exporter
of moulding. A large percentage of Brazilian exports
are sent to the United States, which is the world's largest
wood importer. Mariane Bueno de Camargo spent one year
examining exports from Brazil to the US and interviewing
traders, distributors, and other market players. Her study
examines the main challenges for Brazilian exports to the
US in the past 10 years, as well as identifying who the big
industry players are and how composite products are affecting
solid lineal moulding, finger joint moulding, and plywood.
She will share the results of her interviews, as well as
thoughts on her American experience.
