That commodity is European oak!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The species must currently rank as one of the most sought after hardwoods. Alongside US white oak, it has become the European consumers\u2019 timber of choice for furniture, flooring and joinery.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, demand is such that one of the EU\u2019s fastest growing retailers, solid oak furniture specialists and now USA-based \u2018Oak Furniture Land\u2019, is predicting its sales will hit \u00a31 billion in five years, up from \u00a3300 million in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Europe\u2019s oak is also in strong demand elsewhere, principally in Asia and most notably China. Much of the material is still processed by Asian producers, particularly in Vietnam and China, and made into manufactured product for export to Europe, the US and elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>But increasing volumes are used for goods destined for expanding domestic Asian consumption, led once more by the Chinese market.<\/p>\n<p>China has been importing more European oak lumber, but its imports of logs have been growing faster, to the point it is seriously concerning the European processing sector, fearing for its raw material supply. The result has been calls for export controls, notably in the sawmillers\u2019 protests in Paris.<\/p>\n<p>France is Europe\u2019s biggest oak source and believes it has been most affected by the Asian log drain. Some say it even threatens to reduce the scale of French sawmilling, with the repercussions for downstream businesses and jobs.<\/p>\n<p>French mills acknowledged steps have been taken to alleviate the situation, including a government measure stipulating that 300,000 cu.m of timber from state forests had to be further processed in the EU. Some companies were reported to be bypassing this by trucking logs to Belgium for simple squaring for export to China and elsewhere, but the policy is thought to have had some impact.<\/p>\n<p>New phytosanitary regulations, curbing timber treatment in the forest and stipulating it is undertaken in notified premises was also said to have put an added administrative brake on log exports.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time the French have been actively marketing their oak lumber in Asia, with some success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>We\u2019re selling more sawn timber to China and at least 10 other Asian countries, with fastest growth now in Vietnam and India,<\/em>\u201d said Florence Perrucaud, export manager at sawmillers Ducerf. Guillaume Maniere, export sales manager at Monniot reported a similar experience. \u201c<em>Asian flooring and furniture producers are now our main industrial qualities customer and we\u2019re supplying them beams for lamellas and cutting to their specified thicknesses.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But despite rising export demand for sawnwood and the log export restraints, French mills say the flow out of the country remains considerable and there is currently no reason to think it won\u2019t rise further.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One prized timber has been the object of protests on the Champs \u00c9lys\u00e9es, a free trade legal challenge by the EU to the Ukraine and at a recent European conference in London.
