Cesefor, as a partner of the SustForest Plus project, is developing an application together with other industrial partners of the project from Spain, France and Portugal; to improve the management tasks of the resinero procurement process.
Cesefor has participated in the event CONAMA LOCAL on April 5, 2019, held in Toledo through the presentation on "Digitalization in the traceability of forest products. MicoQR and ResinApp", within the framework of new technologies in rural areas.
As one of the actions of the SustForest Plus project, Cesefor is in the process of developing, together with other industrial partners of the project, an application that will allow the traceability and logistic management of forest products in an efficient way, in this case the natural resin. This ICT development includes the monitoring of the collection, transport and weighing of whey from the forest to the factory. It will also facilitate the interaction between resin producers and first processing industries, and improve the execution of management in the resin supply process. The effectiveness of this technology will have a direct impact on the efficiency of resin work and will ensure the traceability of this forest resource and the accreditation of the local origin of the resin.
Luresa Resinas, the Sociedad de Resinas Naturales, both in Segovia; and Valcan Resinas, in Cuenca, have contributed to the ResinApp development process.
This application will enter the pilot test phase in several Spanish and Leonese mountains, through the partner company of the Sociedad de Resinas Naturales project. This technology will help to implement management models that combine the use of a strategic resource, the creation of employment and the rational use of natural resources.
The project SustForest Plus SOE2/P5/E0598 "Strategy and collaboration networks for multifunctionality, conservation and employment in the territory of southern Europe through resin extraction" runs from 2018 to 2021, is co-financed by the Interreg Sudoe Programme through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) of the European Union and aims to improve joint management methods of natural resin sources in the Sudoe territory as a strategic and preferential resource for industry, job creation and the rational use of natural resources.
The project's beneficiary partners are: Fundación Centro de Servicios y Promoción Forestal y de su Industria de Castilla y León (Cesefor), Centre Nacional de la Propriété Forestière (CNPF), European Forest Institute (EFI), Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), Instituto Nacional de Investigação Agrária e Veterinária (INIAV), Municipio de Penela, Municipio de Proença-a-a-Nova and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM).
