Only the union of the various agents in the country’s natural resin value chain, through a cluster, capable of having a voice with the State, promoting training and competitiveness, will guarantee the continuity of secular activities
There are only about 500 resin workers left in the entire country
It is necessary to unite to win. This was the main conclusion reached by many of the agents of the country’s natural resin value chain, who met on Monday at the Resin Building in Marinha Grande, where a workshop was taking place with several partners of the RN21 project. At this event, Carlos Fonseca represented ForestWISE, the collaborative laboratory that leads the RN21 consortium.
The project, which has 39 partners, including academia, associations, extraction, first and second processing companies, aims to modernize and make the production of natural resin more sustainable in Portugal, covering the entire value chain, from the forest to the final consumer, counting, for this purpose, with around 17 million incentives from the RRP.
