Texas received C$176 million worth of Alberta lumber in 2024, accounting for 17 per cent of the province’s total lumber exports to the U.S.
Texas is Alberta’s largest U.S. market for lumber, and Alberta’s wood products play a critical role in supporting American homebuilders, infrastructure projects and businesses. This trade mission aims to highlight the importance of Alberta’s high-quality wood products and ensure continued access to this vital market.
Between March 31 and April 3, Minister Loewen and a delegation from the Alberta Forest Products Association meet with key government officials, industry representatives and advocacy groups in Texas, to reinforce the strong relationship between the two regions and emphasize the need for fair, open markets to ensure these industries continue to thrive.
Through this mission, Alberta’s government is working to create new opportunities for people and businesses in both regions. By advocating for fair and transparent trade policies, Alberta’s government is working to ensure that the province’s wood product manufacturers remain competitive, while helping to build a stronger, more sustainable future for communities in both Alberta and Texas.
