Journal of Forest Business Research: an open forum to support sustainable forest investment and management

The Journal of Forest Business Research (JFBR), an international peer-reviewed and open-access journal, provides a novel publication channel for scientific research in sustainable forest investment and management. The journal strives to meet the growing demand of scholars and practitioners in understanding sustainable forest investment and management by bringing together scientific and professional research in this field. The following section describes why there is a need for the JFBR and what makes this journal an open forum to support sustainable forest investment and management. Then, we summarize all the papers included in our two issues in 2024. This year, we published over 270 pages of high-quality forest business research. These articles discussed, among others, trends of forest investments in Latin America, Colombia’s market for manufactured wood products, wood flow management software, modeling of the growth of teak plantations, commercial tree farming in Colombia, plantation forestry in Paraguay, Brazilian timber market, export prices of Canadian forest products, Texas trade in forest products industry, craft industry in British Columbia’s forest sector of Canada, and wood prices in the Southeastern United States. All these articles demonstrate the international characteristics of forest business research. In the final section, we elaborate on what types of articles we are seeking and how you can support JFBR.
