Representatives of the private sector in the northeastern Colombian city of Medellin will distribute the first Directory of the Forestry Productive Chain, which includes a broad range of participants in the sector: industrialists, engineers, technicians, suppliers, financial institutions and research centers. Alvaro Marín, commercial director of the publication which is to be launched Apr. 30, told Tierramérica the directory will include sector-specific data and information on what the Colombian forestry sector has to offer the international market in terms of products and services.

The directory was drafted with support from government agencies, including divisions of the Ministry of Agriculture.
