European markets are still dull and appear unlikely to change for the better until the spring and summer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sudden interest in belli and tali<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The few buyers that are active at present are in the market for the heavier hardwoods such as belli and tali for which FOB prices are now on the rise.<\/p>\n<p>The available volumes of these species are very limited and producers question for how long this sudden interest in belli and tali will continue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hints that kevazingo trade may be banned<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is rumoured that strict regulation of kevazingo production could be announced very soon and some are suggesting this may even extend to a total ban on logging this valuable timber.<\/p>\n<p>Heavy rains are hampering transport operations in Gabon. Companies in the country continue to risk government action being taken against those that fail to follow approved management plans. For guilty companies heavy fines have been imposed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Log Export Prices<\/strong><\/p>\n<table class=\"article-content\" border=\"1\" frame=\"box\" rules=\"all\" cellspacing=\"1\"
