Japan's Forestry Agency has recently organized a meeting regarding the future of the wood demand in the country, for the Q2 and Q3\/2018.<\/em><\/p>\n

During the meeting, officials discussed about the general demand for imported wood products that would certainly decline for both logs and lumber, while the domestic demand for lumber and plywood would increase. This\u00a0would improve self-sufficiency rate but may result in oversupply of domestic logs.<\/p>\n

The new housing starts have registered a steep decline, as compared to the same month in 2017, with an average of 953,000 new units, 8,000 units lower than it was previous forecast.<\/p>\n

Due to high export prices, the Japanese forestry agency explained that the imports of North American logs and lumber would decrease. Also, the log supply for the second quarter of 2018 would improve, so the imports would increase by 2.4%. Yet, the third quarter imports would decline by 4.5% due to forest fires that happen during the summer months. The demand for these quarters would stay unchanged from 2017.<\/p>\n

Supply of North American lumber would decline by 4.7% for the second quarter and the third quarter supply volume would stay the same as last year. Yet, the demand for the second quarter would decline by 8.3% and for the third quarter by 5.1%, because of high export prices, caused by overheated U.S. lumber market.<\/p>\n

The supply overcomes the demand, so that the inventories at the end of the third quarter would increase. European lumber, which has increased for two straight years, would keep decreasing all through 2018, as the supply side is more interested in other markets and the prices in Japan have climbed high enough, officials reported.<\/p>\n

Supply of both domestic and imported structural laminated lumber for the second quarter would decline by 4.3 % and for the third quarter by 3.8%. Reasons are continuous stagnation of whitewood products and dropping orders for redwood beam, as the demand has peaked on imported products, while domestic production would stay almost the same as last year.<\/p>\n

Radiata pine log supply declined, while lumber supply increased in 2017. In 2018, log supply would stay the same as in 2017 and the lumber supply would increase slightly. The higher prices of radiata pine lumber would cause the demand to shift to lower costs for domestic cedar lumber.<\/p>\n

As Japanese forestry officials discussed during the meeting, Russian log imports would continue to be\u00a0 low through the third quarter, due to higher log exports duty. Russian lumber imports increased by 10.4% in the first quarter, but the second quarter supply would be the same as 2017, then drop by 9.1% for the third quarter. Reason is that other markets are more attractive for the Russian suppliers.<\/p>\n

Demand for domestic logs would keep increasing through the third quarter. For lumber, the Forestry Agency made a policy as to give subsidy for use of solid wood. Also, the logs exports would increase for all the markets, particularly for China.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
