Against this background, European plywood importers variously describe demand ranging from \u2018stable and sound\u2019 and \u2018at a good level\u2019, to \u2018strong and strengthening\u2019. Most companies said sales were solid across the range, although Malaysian generally and Indonesian marine plywood were highlighted as being particularly sought after.<\/em><\/p>\n

At the same time, all importers had issues with supply in different degrees. \u201cThere have been delays from everywhere, for various reasons,\u201d said one leading continental operator. \u201cOverall supply is short, making it difficult to plan,\u201d confirmed a UK company. \u201cMills are also often running very late.\u201d<\/p>\n

The problems with Indonesian and Malaysian supplies are largely attributed by European importers to the long and severe wet season and its impact on harvesting and log transport, with mills consequently running short of logs.<\/p>\n

The weather and raw material supply situation has since improved, but a report in the European trade press early April said that in some regions \u2018logging roads are still muddy and log hauling is difficult\u2019, adding that it could take a further month before the situation returned to normal.<\/p>\n

Plywood prices for both Malaysia and Indonesia in the EU are reported to have increased by 30% in the last six months.<\/p>\n

Until recently, supply from Brazil was described by European importers as \u2018no better or worse than usual\u2019, but the recent nationwide truckers strike over high fuel prices is expected to cause continuing delays in delivery of raw material to mills and finished product to port.<\/p>\n

President Temer ultimately made concessions to the strikers and industrial action was called off end of May, but the country was left with a significant backlog of undelivered cargo and the action is now expected to dent GDP.<\/p>\n

Increased competition from US buyers for Malaysian and Indonesian product is also said to be impacting availability and price in Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraditionally, US buyers have sourced Asian hardwood plywood imports most heavily from China [worth $1.12 billion last year], but their requirements are now such that they\u2019ve been exploring other sources, including Indonesia and Malaysia,\u201d said a European importer\/distributor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether US anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Chinese hardwood products, activated in December, will heighten this trend remains to be seen.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
