Untapped Potential: Invest In Wood Processing Industry In Gabon, GSEZ

Gabon boasts immense timber wealth with 87% forest cover rich in Okoume and Mahogany. Yet, limited domestic processing means they export raw logs, capturing only a fraction of the value. This presents a golden opportunity for investors! The global wood processing market is surging towards USD 600 billion by 2025. Invest in processing facilities and transform Gabon's timber into high-value products like plywood, furniture, and lumber. 

 

The forest industry is one of the major resources for Gabon that contributes to its GDP growth. According to the most recent statistics, the total forest area was estimated at 23.62 million hectares in 2010, and 23.5 million hectares in 2020. The modest net annual change between 2010 and 2020 was 11,900 hectares with 0.05% deforestation.
