Latin America’s forest products sector is entering a period of structural reset. Tariffs and tensions from the US are redrawing trade flows.

Fastmarkets Forest Products LATAM Conference 2026 brings together mills, recyclers, suppliers, end users, traders, service providers, policymakers, investors, and logistics leaders to work through what this moment actually means for the industry. The agenda covers supply and demand fundamentals, segment-by-segment market analysis, and the diversification moves redefining what a forest products company can be. Alongside market dynamics, the conference addresses the commercial case for sustainability, from carbon and biodiversity credits to EUDR compliance.
