The magazine of the forest sector
Dear friends and B.Forest readers,
Dear friends and B.Forest readers,
It may seem unthinkable that, just a year ago, we all had a plan for the year 2020 that would never come to fruition in the way that we imagined it. With everything that happened throughout this year, it’s hard to believe that it’s already December. But like in other previous crises, the year 2020 is almost over, and with the first countries offering vaccination to prevent Covid-19, we can finally glimpse a truly post-Covid world.
The fluctuations observed in the forestry sector and the outlook for the post-pandemic world are the main themes of this special issue. First, we’ve brought the best moments of our Coffee with the Board special live stream series, which brought together Jefferson Mendes (Director of BM2C), João Comério (CEO of Innovatech), Joésio Siqueira (Vice-President of STCP) and Marcelo Schmid (Managing Partner of Index Group).
The professionals discussed the outlook for the sector in the post-pandemic scenario, a subject that we discussed in more detail in the following article. Our special article also discusses the impacts of the exchange rate – especially the rise of the US dollar – on the Brazilian forestry sector, discussing exports and challenges in domestic consumption.
In addition, our monthly columns, short news session and special articles bring other interesting news and trends to end the year with optimism and perseverance. We thank you, our reader, for having accompanied us throughout this turbulent year of 2020.
Happy holidays and great reading!
