Event Overview
About BPPF
What is BPPF?
​
The Baltic Peat Producers’ Forum (BPPF) is one of the most important peat industry events in Europe. It is organized annually in different locations at the end of the production season respectively by Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian Peat Producers’ Associations. BPPF has been held annually since 2001 and it attracts hundreds of international attendees. The forum was founded in Riga, at the Radisson Hotel Daugava, in March 2000, during a joint board meeting of Baltic peat producers’ associations, where upcoming challenges and tasks were discussed. It was decided that this type of meeting should be held annually to exchange information regarding technology and yearly production rates. The first BPPF was held in Lithuania, Šiauliai, in one of the production companies in 2001.
​
What started as an annual meeting between three associations has nowadays grown into an international forum that gathers more than 300 delegates from more than 15 countries and holds a key place amongst peat industry events in Europe. The forum brings together peat industry representatives as well as decision-makers, traders, equipment manufacturers, environmentalists, representatives from peat serving industries and researchers who share their experience and knowledge on peat and peatland-related issues.
​
The main aim of the forum is to present the latest achievements and perspectives in the peat industry in order to share experiences as well as to address issues regarding legal frameworks, nature conservation and other issues regarding scientific research on peatlands.
