10 years ago, Gabon made a law forbidding national wood to be exported without being processed locally. 

Today through their Special Economic Zone by @AriseIIP, Gabon is becoming a world leader in the wood sector (veneers, plywood), and sells products worldwide with local brands such as @Akiba_Gabon expanding in American cities.

Many presidents and business moguls like Jeff Bezos have visited and commended the Gabon Special Economic Zone model.
