This translates into a readily available supply of high-quality wood for veneer production.
Species Advantage: The DRC's forests are home to a diverse range of trees prized for their veneer quality, including limba, moabi, and zebrano, known for their exceptional beauty and durability. Within its borders, more than 950 species of trees flourish, with 91 of them commercially traded.
Value Addition: Transforming logs into high-quality veneer adds significant value to the timber, catering to the global demand for premium furniture and decorative surfaces.
