## Frost Perspectives

##### The State of Mass Timber in Latin America

Mass timber refers to a family of engineered wood-based structural building materials that use large-format, prefabricated solid or engineered wood elements as primary load-bearing components. These elements –which include both multilayered panels and structural members – are typically used for floors, roofs, and walls and are prized for their strength, sustainability, and aesthetic appeal.

##### China+1 Strategy in Action: Specialty Fertilizers and India’s Strategic Leap

As India approaches its Rabi season, the specialty fertilizer export halt from China presents both challenges and significant opportunities for domestic Indian fertilizer producers. While China has been restricting supplies of specialty fertilizers to India for the last 4-5 years, a complete halt impacts a ~80% of specialty fertilizers supply for high-value crops such as fruits and vegetables, affecting agricultural belts in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.
