WORKING TOGETHER IN WOOD ● For more than fifty years Ghana has been exporting wood and wood products to the USA ● Today the USA buys Ghana’s rotary and sliced veneer, plywood, machined and shaped profiles, flooring and its air dried and kiln dried sawn timber ● American buyers know about the great variety of Ghana’s hardwoods – from some of the world’s strongest and most durable species to those with the most beautiful decorative appeal ● – and Ghana works with the IWPA to help explain tropical forest issues and demonstrate environmental responsibility LONDON OFFICE: Unit 4, Granard Business Centre, Bunns Lane Mill Hill, London NW7 2DZ, UK Tel: [phone] Fax: [phone] E-mail: [email protected] website: www.ghanatimber.co.uk ® TAKORADI OFFICE: Timber Industry Development Division P O Box 515, Takoradi, Ghana Tel: [phone]/662360 Fax: [phone] E-mail: [email protected] Timber Industry Development Division Forest Services Division Wildlife Division
