In these past 365 days since the launch of Expoforest 2018 , forestry professionals ’ expectations for the world ’ s biggest forestry event of 2018 have only increased . “ In all editions , we present the Fair to the market at least a year and a half before opening day . This procedure is necessary due to the complexity involved in organizing the fair – for the organizers as well as the exhibitors ,” explains Rafael
Malinovski , business director at Malinovski , organizers of Expoforest .
A few details about the fair are enough to confirm its complexity : Expoforest is Brazil ’ s biggest fairs in terms of overall area ( 200 hectares ), with the longest trails ( 4 kilometers ); it also takes place outdoors , requires extensive eucalyptus felling , as well as land leveling and destumping operations and the construction of the trails and parking lot . “ There is nothing like Expoforest in this country . Our field team has already cleared the parking lot , the static area , the dynamic silviculture area and trails – over six months ago . Now , we are destumping and land leveling the parking lot , the static area and the trails . Our next step is to complete felling operations for other dynamic exhibit áreas , as per our exhibitors ’ requests ,” outlines Malinovski .
At the moment , over 217 companies are already confirmed exhibitors for the 4th Expoforest that will be held between April 11th and 13th of 2018 . “ This means that over 80 % of exhibit areas have already been sold . This number reflects directly the importance of the fair for the forestry market , which understands participating in Expoforest is a strategic decision , especially as the fair only takes place every four years ”, Malinovski adds . According to the organizers , expectations for growth regarding the 2014 edition , which brought 208 exhibitors to the fair , are of 40 %. The number of visitors is also expected to increase significantly : after all , Expoforest will be the world ’ s largest forestry fair in 2018 . “ Over 30 thousand visitors are expected , and we are certain they will be awed by the scope of the fair as they feel the true Extreme spirit ”, he concludes .
