The Misiones sawmills survey began
The objective is to provide information on the current financing lines at the local and national level; and the supply of training available and the institutions that carry it out.
With the visits made by a professional team of census takers, a questionnaire is carried out that allows to know in detail the provincial industrial forestry reality in terms of the existing machinery, the level of technologies and the production of these industries.
This initiative is organized by the Government of the province of Misiones, through the Ministry of Agriculture and Production, and implemented by the Sub-secretariat of Forest Development.
In addition, it has the support of the APICOFOM and AMAYADAP chambers, the CFI and the Faculty of Forestry Sciences (UNaM).
From APICOFOM, its associates and industries in general are requested to "participate in this survey, receive and attend to the census takers, because from this initiative possible solutions can be carried out for the demands that become known."

This is the Yakisugi (also known as Shou Sugi Ban), a method that consists in burning the surface of the wood to make it more resistant and attractive.
