Services provided:  The team quintupled the export of BC wood to India along with various stakeholders, by removing Forestry Ministry ban of certain BC wood species in India (by engaging with the Indian government department) & got Agriculture Ministry to allow heat-pressure treatment instead of mandatory fumigating of imports. This had a major effect on exports, and BC Wood (a not for profit organisation) decided to set up their own promotion office in Mumbai in 2013.
