As the tariffs imposed by the US continue to roil long-standing trade relationships, BC Wood is ready to support members in finding new markets and customers. One of these opportunities for market diversification is the Global Buyers Mission happening on September 4th- 6th. For those with a specific interest in Japan, we will of course, be organizing the Canadian Pavilion at the Japan Home and Building Show in Tokyo from November 19th to 21st. However, based on the requests and input of BC value-added manufacturers, the BC Wood Japan Office will also be organizing an all-new mission program that will put participating companies in front of buyers for one-on-one meetings in the three main economic regions of Japan. On this mission, BC Wood members will travel to Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka, where they will be able to visit local importers and users to learn about current market demand and preferences.
