Thailand's active participation in GLSTF 2026 highlights the nation's ongoing efforts to align its domestic timber industry with increasingly strict international trade standards, such as anti-deforestation regulations affecting global supply chains. Establishing legal compliance, transparency, and full traceability remains essential for maintaining the competitiveness of Thai economic timber in worldwide markets.
Following the forum, the Thai Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment aims to accelerate the legal transformation of Thailand's domestic economic timber sector while building strong international networks to unlock new opportunities in the global arena.
