Laos is planning to boost its wood businesses and wood exports to markets of the European Union (EU) countries. Following the attempt, a workshop addressing guides on high value-added wood products was recently held by the Department of Forestry in Vientiane.
The workshop offered an in-depth understanding of both tax and non-tax measures for exporting wood products to the EU markets, EU decisions, directives, and regulations as well as insights into high-export-potential wood products.
The workshop also covered the EU procedures such as requirements for treating wooden packaging to mitigate pest transmission and manage packaging-related risks, for instance.
According to the Laos News Agency, higher demand for wood products from the EU would grant Laos more opportunities for both small and medium-sized enterprises to expand.
