Orissa International assisted a US government trade agency that promotes and markets forest products from the state of Virginia in getting information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the buying capabilities of forest products importers and distributors in Malaysia and Vietnam. To come up with an assessment, Orissa International contacted importers and distributors of US forest products in both markets to gather their feedback on import and supply issues. Through this project, we provided on-the-ground insights to the client regarding the impact of the pandemic on the local business operations of forestry product suppliers, thereby supporting Virginia wood exporters in planning their sales and marketing strategy in the two markets.
