The ABPMA maintains an updated inventory of its associates' African Mahogany, which is available for sale, and where these producers are located. Those interested in purchasing are directed to the producer that best meets that demand, in terms of geographical proximity, delivery capacity, and availability of the specific wood requested. In the event of a demand for a large quantity of wood, members form specific groups, in which marketing rules are governed by an “ABPMA Marketing Term and Rules”. These groups will attend to each request. After evaluations and comparisons of the prices of fine woods in the national market, ABPMA members made their Reference Table, which serves as a guide for the sale of young mahogany. Prices may change depending on each negotiation.
The ITTO Tropical Timber Market (TTM) report is an international journal published every two weeks with the aim of providing updates on the international wood market, countries of origin, and other news related to the world’s timber market. It is a good source of updated information and where the interested party will be able to follow the international price of African Mahogany of African origin.
In 2016 we started contacting Tramontina Pará so that they could get to know African Mahogany with the aim of placing it on their production line. We placed a large order for small objects from the Tramontina line that had the ABPMA logo and delivered to our associates. However, as an essential specification, we ask that the objects would be delivered in African Mahogany. The factory, to serve us, sought African Mahogany in adult forests in Pará and consequently tested and approved the wood. After some time we were pleased to be informed that due to the beauty of the wood and its workability, Tramontina would be launching a Premium catalog with African Mahogany objects, which can be accessed through the Tramontina website with beautiful products online. Our African mahogany produced in Brazil is in more than 170 countries, in which Tramontina operates. To consolidate this partnership, we held a meeting of associates in Pará, visiting Embrapa - PA and Tramontina, where we were very well received and were able to see the mahogany on the production line in the beautiful factory.
Seeking to introduce young mahogany to the national market and show the beauty of wood to the retail audience, ABPMA has partnered with Fubbá Objetos Inteligentes. A partnership that will move the African Mahogany scene in Brazil, due to its creativity and interaction of activities related to the furniture sector and the mahogany forests. Through a curatorship by Fubbá, partner designers, now also partners of ABPMA, were selected to produce objects with African Mahogany. Contests will be created to encourage students to work with wood, and the winners will also have their pieces for sale on the website. Fubbá, as a company always concerned with sustainability, will allocate a percentage of its sales to purchase African Mahogany seedlings that will be donated to a chosen ABPMA associate, who will take care of the forest until the end. They will be called Fubbá Smart Forests. The sales website of Fubbá Objetos will have an exclusive section for the sale of objects produced with African Mahogany created by the designers and also objects signed by ABPMA.
