In this document we provide a quick overview of Peru's forest economy and identify some of its challenges and potential for growth. We rely partially on official statistics, but have sought to improve the estimates by broadening the definition of what is usually accounted for in the forest sector and through a wider use of sources. Our objective is that this factsheet becomes a useful input for discussion for the strategic planning of Peru's forest sector.
