The EU\u2019s trade in tropical wood products was more buoyant in the first quarter this year compared to the same period in 2018.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Total imports of all wood products (classified in HS Chapter 44) from tropical countries in the first quarter of 2019 were 525,000 MT, 9% more than the same period in 2018. Import value increased 17% to \u20ac561 million.<\/p>\n

This is surprising given that the wider economic situation in the EU is not particularly promising this year, the European Commission having recently downgraded GDP growth projections to only 1.4% for the whole of the EU in 2019 in response to signs of deteriorating economic conditions.<\/p>\n

To some extent the rise in EU tropical wood imports so far in 2019 is only a reflection of just how poor the market was last year when imports for several commodities barely exceeded the record lows of the 2008-2009 financial crises. Nevertheless, it is encouraging that the rise in EU imports so far this year has been consistent across nearly all tropical wood product groups (Chart 1).<\/p>\n

The latest upturn in imports is also quite well distributed across the EU with imports of tropical wood products higher during the first quarter in all the leading EU markets except Germany.<\/p>\n

In the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, total imports of tropical wood products increased in Belgium (+5% to 102,500 MT), the UK (+23% to 91,000 MT), Netherlands (+16% to 72,000 MT), France (+4% to 60,000 MT), Italy (+13% to 44000 MT), Spain (+36% to 26,600 MT), Portugal (+70% to 19,400 MT) and Greece (+23% to 18,700 MT).<\/p>\n

In contrast, total imports of tropical wood products in Germany declined 9% to 42,400 MT in the first quarter of 2019. This decline is partly driven by increasing reliance on indirect imports of tropical wood products from other EU countries by German distributors.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
