Local sawmills and lumberyards are habitually in breach of the regulations governing the sale of timber, which sometimes have a serious impact on consumer satisfaction, officials of the Guyana Forest Producers Association (GFPA) have told Stabroek Business.

Regulations enshrined in the Timber Marketing Act of 1975 pertaining to a range of issues including grading, preservation and marketing of wood are being routinely flouted by millers and lumberyard dealers,
