China\u2019s log imports from the USA in the first three months of 2018 totalled 1.41 million cubic metres, a year on year increase of 7% over the same period of 2017. China\u2019s sawnwood imports from the USA in the first three months of 2018 rose 5% to 709,600 cubic metres.<\/em><\/p>\n

Rise in tropical hardwood log imports<\/strong><\/p>\n

China\u2019s log imports were 14.38 million cubic metres in the first three months of 2018, up 14% over the same period of 2017, hardwood log imports rose 25% to 4.93 million cubic metres.<\/p>\n

The average price for sawnwood imported from tropical countries was US$395 per cubic metre, down 7% from the the same period of 2017. Six tropical countries supplied just over 90% of China\u2019s \u2018tropical\u2019 sawnwood requirements in the first three months of 2018 namely, Thailand (72%), Gabon (7%), Indonesia (5%), Philippines (4%), Malaysia (4%) and Cameroon (2%).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
