A new strategy for Scotland’s forestry industries is seeking to harness the opportunities of natural wood fibre to double the sector’s economic growth to £2 billion a year by 2030.
Launched by the Scottish Forest and Timber Technologies Industry Leadership Group, the Roots for Further Growth strategy sets out a vision for economic growth up to 2030. The strategy has five strategic priorities:
• Maximise the economic outputs of Scotland’s forest and fibre resource.
• Improve the safety and efficiency of the wood fibre supply chain.
• Expand markets and add value.
• Develop a workforce with skills for the future which supports inclusive growth.
• Understand and communicate the forest and wood-based industries’ contributions to Scotland’s economy.
