NZ not alone in pursuing India to sell more wood

Friday 16 Jan 2026

 
B.C. Premier, David Eby, led a trade mission to India promoting British Columbia’s businesses, critical minerals and sustainable wood products, supporting work to build a more independent economy and creating more good jobs for people in British Columbia.

“With unjustified tariffs from the U.S. impacting B.C. workers and businesses, it’s more important than ever to deepen strategic relationships with international partners to attract new investment and support good-paying jobs in British Columbia,” Premier Eby said. “India is a key market for B.C. with enormous opportunities for trade. This trade mission is about deepening our relationships, supporting good jobs in B.C. and strengthening our position as the economic engine of the new Canadian economy.”

As India moves toward becoming the world’s third-largest economy, the Premier will highlight opportunities for sustainable forestry, clean energy and responsible mining through new partnerships that are available only in B.C.

India is the world’s third-highest energy consumer and has a growing demand for clean technology and clean energy. British Columbia has both to offer. The mission is part of Look West: Jobs and Prosperity for BC and Canada, and aligns with the Look West goal of doubling exports to non-U.S. markets over 10 years.
