About this episode
This episode discusses the impact of data on decision-making in Australia's timber and wood products industry.
How does data help shape the future of Australia's timber and wood products industry? In this episode of WoodChat, we explore the critical role data plays in supporting better decisions across the supply chain, from informing business investment and industry planning to strengthening policy, research and long-term sustainability. We speak with Kevin Peachey, FWPA's Head of Economics, Statistics and Data Insights, and Dr Erick Hansnata, Industry Economist and Program Manager, about why timely, accurate data matters, where it creates the greatest value for industry, and how FWPA's data and insights activities support a stronger, more informed sector. Along the way, Kevin and Erick also share updates on the latest Forest & Wood Products Australia initiatives and the work underway to support industry growth and innovation.
