The 1st FSC Sustainable Forest Products Value Chain Meeting put export competitiveness, compliance capacity, and public-private sector cooperation on the agenda<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ankara, April 16, 2026<\/strong> \u2013 FSC T\u00fcrkiye brought together public institutions, exporters, manufacturers, certificate holders, sector representatives, and international stakeholders today in Ankara the \u201c1st FSC Sustainable Forest Products Value Chain Meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event, where the current requirements facing T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s forest products sector in global markets were discussed, brought market expectations, policy perspectives, and sector practices together on the same platform.<\/p>\n

One of the key messages highlighted during the event was that public-private sector dialogue is of critical importance for a reliable and actionable transformation. Policy alignment, buyer expectations, sustainability requirements, traceability systems, and implementation experiences in export markets were comprehensively evaluated during the meeting.<\/p>\n

FSC T\u00fcrkiye National Representative \u015e\u00fckran Bay\u00e7ura said: \u201cReliable systems, actionable tools, and strong public-sector cooperation are of critical importance for Turkish companies to sustain market access and competitiveness. As FSC, we see the sustainable management and certification of forests, which form the first link of the supply chain, as one of the fundamental elements of this transformation. FSC aims to contribute to a more resilient, transparent, and competitive export ecosystem in forest-based products. The framework we offer around traceability, risk mitigation, and market trust provides companies with a concrete and actionable roadmap. As discussed at this event today, the sector\u2019s core goal should be to turn the obligation to comply with current international regulations into a competitive advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n

FSC Senior Director of Market and Markets Helen Chepkemoi Too said: \u201cNew regulations, especially the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), and changing buyer expectations are creating a new field of opportunity in the forest products value chain. Globally, buyers are transforming their supply processes, and companies that have invested to adapt to this transformation are moving ahead both in access to target markets and in resilience during fragile periods. I believe this meeting, where opportunities and practices for Turkish companies seeking to stand out in supplying the European target market were discussed, has offered new perspectives for participants.\u201d<\/p>\n

TOBB Board Member Saim \u00d6zakal\u0131n stated: \u201cToday, the concept of sustainability is no longer a matter of choice, it has become one of the main determinants of global trade and competitiveness. Especially from the perspective of the forest products sector, sustainable production, traceability, and the ability to exist in international markets now stand out as fundamental prerequisites. In this respect, the \u2018FSC Sustainable Forest Products Value Chain Meeting\u2019 is an extremely important event for our sector. At a time when sustainability expectations in global markets are increasing and regulations such as the EUDR are on the agenda, it is of great value for all stakeholders to come together.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of the program, public and private sector panels and thematic sessions focusing on sustainability, competitiveness dynamics, and buyer expectations were also held. These sessions addressed compliance processes, export competitiveness, and implementation experiences.<\/p>\n

The event featured senior representatives as speakers from the Republic of T\u00fcrkiye Ministry of Trade, FSC T\u00fcrkiye and FSC International, TOBB, as well as KASAD, YOMSAD, MOSFED, and Huhtamaki.<\/p>\n
