🌳 Happy International Day of Forests Africa’s wood sector carries out a powerful but still largely untapped opportunity. Today, Africa’s wood products make up only a small share of global exports, yet the continent holds US$3.3 billion in unrealized trade potential globally, including US$404 million within Africa by 2030. Countries like Cameroon, Gabon, Eswatini, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and South Africa are among those positioned to drive this growth. Through the African Trade Observatory (ato.africa), users can explore intra-African trade flows, identify top exporters, and uncover tariff opportunities under the #AfCFTA, turning trade data into actionable insights. Better information builds stronger, more resilient value chains, from forests to factories to markets. Because sustainable growth starts with understanding where opportunities truly are. 👉 Explore Africa’s forest‑based trade data at ato.africa
