Dubai, (IINA) - The UAE will host the Dubai WoodShow 2016 on April 4-6. The event, which is the largest trade fair for wood products in the Middle East, will showcase about 412,400 cubic meters of softwood lumber, exported mainly from European and North American countries, WAM reported citing a Woodstat industry report.

Dubai WoodShow 2016 will open doors for other pavilions, including Turkey and India, as well as last year’s seven national pavilions of the US, Spain, France, Malaysia, Sweden, Canada and China. This expansion is expected to further boost the show’s reputation, compared to last year’s record growth of 33% increase in exhibitors over 2014.
The 11th edition is set to put on display all kinds of both softwood products made of cedar, fir, pine, redwood, or hardwood products from ash, birch, cherry, mahogany, maple, oak, poplar, teak, and walnut. "Dubai WoodShow showcases exquisite wood and woodworking material",
