Countries such as France, Belgium and Germany are experiencing significant exports of raw materials to Asian countries like China.<\/p>\n<p>Romania, due to a stringent legislation on purchasing roundwood, has an unsatisfactory availability of raw materials. Limitations on the exports of oak from Croatia are having a negative impact on Central and South European oak processors. Therefore, a more lively market is in some cases not being taken advantage of.<\/p>\n<p>Overall production in this group of countries was about 6.1 million m3 in 2017, slightly below than in 2016. A marginal production increase will probably occur this year. We are still far from the production peak that these countries achieved back in 2007 (7.8 million m3 ).<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, Romania and France remain the biggest sawn hardwood producers within the EOS community, with a production of 1.6 and 1.55 million m3 respectively. The third largest producer remains Germany, with almost 1.1 million m3 , a small increase compared to 2016.<a href=\"https:\/\/timberindustrynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hardwood2-5.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"https:\/\/timberindustrynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hardwood2-5-300x161.jpg noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3156\" src=\"https:\/\/timberindustrynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hardwood2-5-300x161.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"243\" height=\"130\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In 2017, sawn hardwood consumption in the EOS (European Organisation of the\u00a0Sawmill Industry) countries was 5.1 million m3 . A noticeable decline\u00a0can be observed comparing with 2016, due mainly to dropping consumption in Romania. For 2018 a slight increase is expected.<\/p>\n<p>Hardwood consumption remains subdued when compared to the pre-global economic crisis period (it peaked in 2007 when it reached 9.3 million m3 ). France remains the largest consumer within the EOS community with almost 1.3 million m3 , followed by Romania with 825,000 m3 and Germany with slightly more than 700,000 m3.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Production in the sawn hardwood sector has not been showing any significant trends over the last few years.
