The main objective of the study was to identify the most appropriate and sustainable business models for the Honduran wood sector considering possible comparative advantages, such as wood costs, the best use of different wood assortments for various products and markets, industrial infrastructure, capacities, job creation and finance. 

During the study, ten percent of the country’s forest production units (operational management units) and forest industries in the Forest Regions of Francisco Morazán, Comayagua, Yoro, Olancho, and Atlantic Coast were assessed. The study included the collection of primary data as well as interviews with forest managers and representatives of the forest companies.
