Correntine companies must demonstrate traceability and have environmental certifications to comply with the regulations. International cooperation: European support programs for small producers and technological development were explored to promote sustainable forest production in the province. The meeting was attended by representatives from Spain, Italy and the Netherlands, who reaffirmed their interest in strengthening commercial ties with currents. International.Corrientes already has high environmental standards and certifications in the forest-industrial and livestock sectors, which facilitates its insertion in the European market. However, the challenge is to optimize traceability systems and reinforce the confidence of the international consumer in a complex global context, marked by the commercial war between the United States, China, Canada and Mexico, which could impact the forestry sector.
