\n

The radiata pine plantations planted in New Zealand in the mid-to-late 1980s have now entered into a maturity phase. Consequently, in the next 3-5 years, New Zealand logs production will increase significantly, with an estimated annual production of 350 million cubic meters.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As China is the world's largest importer of logs, New Zealand's logs are expected to enter the Chinese market in large quantities in the next 3-5 years. This will inevitably compete with the Russian wood products that rely on the \u201cBelt and Road\u201d to vigorously explore the Chinese market.<\/p>\n

Current trends in New Zealand's logs deliveries to China<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Wharf Gate (AWG) prices for logs delivered to ports around New Zealand decreased on average 7\u00a0NZD per JASm3<\/sup>\u00a0in April. This decrease in AWG prices is due to a combination of increased shipping costs and uncertainty in the China log market.<\/p>\n

While the demand for logs is at record levels, there is an imbalance between log and domestic wholesale prices. There are log vessels enroute to China from New Zealand without confirmed Letters of Credit (LCs) and Chinese log buyers are using this opportunity to try and negotiate log prices down.<\/p>\n

The New Zealand domestic market for logs has continued the very stable start to 2019. On average, NZ's mills report sawn timber sales up about 5% on last year. Increases in consents for new dwellings continue to be dominated by the North Island cities, with consent numbers in the South Island down on this time last year.<\/p>\n

Due to the drop in the AWG log prices the PF Olsen Log Price Index for April decreased $3 to $131. The index is currently $2 above the two-year average, $5 above the three-year average, and $13 higher than the five-year average.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
