EU hardwood log export hike continues In 2017, total EU hardwood log exports were 2.8 million tonnes, up 15% on 2016 and 53% on 2012. In 2004, the EU exported just 7000 tonnes of hardwood logs to Vietnam.<\/em><\/p>\n

By 2017 that figure had risen to 377,000 tonnes. The growth in imports continued to accelerate throughout the period, with the biggest jump of 577% coming in the five years from 2012.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>While it may have outstripped it in terms of growth rate, however, Vietnam still has some way to go to catch up with China as the EU\u2019s biggest hardwood\u00a0<\/span>log customer. Over the 13-year period to 2017, EU exports to China increased from 365,000 tonnes to 1.94 million, with growth in the last five years hitting 95%.<\/p>\n

Last year for the first time India overtook Turkey to become the third largest EU hardwood log buyer, even though exports to India fell 37.5% from 2016 to 129,000 tonnes. (Chart 1).<\/p>\n

In terms of species, beech was the EU\u2019s biggest hardwood log export last year, with a total of 799,000 tonnes. But oak continued to catch up rapidly with log exports rising a further 46% to reach 728,000 tonnes.<\/p>\n

The third biggest log export species was birch, although its 2017 total was down 20% at 500,000 tonnes.<\/p>\n

Total EU sawn hardwood exports were 1.9 million in 2017, a rise of 7.4% on 2016 and 31% on 2012.<\/p>\n

China took top spot in terms of EU sawn hardwood exports in 2017, with its total rising 119% since 2012 and 35.4% last year to reach 645,000 tonnes.<\/p>\n

Egypt remained the second biggest market for EU sawn hardwood outside the region, with a total of\u00a0460,000 tonnes, but Vietnam again saw fastest growth, with EU exports to the country rising 379% in the five years to 2017 to 113,000 tonnes. (Chart 2).<\/p>\n

Beech remained by far the EU\u2019s biggest sawn hardwood export, and the total grew another 12.7% to 1.36 million tonnes. Oak followed someway behind at 256,000 tonnes, but this represents 93.1% growth since 2012.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ash was third biggest sawn export species in 2017, at 50,000 tonnes, and the EU\u2019s fourth largest export category was sawn tropical hardwood. The latter grew 10% to 24,000 tonnes, but this was down 23.2% on five years ago.<\/p>\n

The EU\u2019s exports of sawn tropical hardwood are mainly destined for neighbouring countries such as Switzerland, Norway and Bosnia, but smaller amounts go further afield, including to the USA, Japan, China and UAE.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
