Erwartungen der Holzwirtschaft an das neue Holz-Förderprogramm des Bundes – Partnerschaftliche Arbeit in fünf Richtungen | The Timber Industry's Expectations of the Confederation's New Timber Promotion Programme – Five Areas for Potential Partnership

The Swiss forest- and timber industry has detailed five key development areas for the coming years. These are to increase raw material production from the current annual level of 4.5 million cubic metres of timber to 6 million; to increase net product throughout the whole timber chain; to open up new markets for timber and timber products; to increase entrepreneurial competitiveness; and to make communication channels more professional, by ensuring that the end consumer market is given consistent information. The clear outlines of the Confederation's follow-on programme for timber promotion coincide to a large extent with these goals. This marks a good starting point for real co-operation between the Confederation and the Swiss timber industry.
