The growing need in emerging markets for building materials and fuel has spurred Japanese trading houses to expand their forestry operations.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Sumitomo Corp. plans to spend about 25 billion yen (SGD $319 million) on acquiring more pine forest in New Zealand, one of the Asia-Pacific region's major timber exporters, looking to double its acreage by 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wood is in increasing demand to build houses in emerging markets as incomes grow. Forest waste is also emerging as a renewable energy source to replace coal.<\/p>\n

Sumitomo harvests in 30-year cycles, allowing time for trees to regrow, with the cut wood shipped as lumber to China and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

The group also will invest about 6 billion yen to expand a lumber mill in Russia's Far East run by Terneyles, a logging company in which Sumitomo holds a 49 per cent stake. Terneyles manages 2.85 million hectares of forest in the region and exports building materials to East Asian markets.<\/p>\n

Rival trading house Marubeni will revamp its tree-planting operations in Indonesia to boost timber output by 50 per cent to more than two million tons a year around 2025. That is expected to be the peak harvest period for the company's eucalyptus trees there, which take six or more years to mature.<\/p>\n

The wood from this plantation goes to a nearby pulp and paper plant. Marubeni now looks to tap markets for other applications as well, such as biomass power.<\/p>\n

Forestry is becoming an earnings source for both groups. Sumitomo's New Zealand and Russian forest operations generate just over two billion yen in annual net profit, a figure it aims to boost to nearly five billion yen by 2022.<\/p>\n

Marubeni's forestry and paper and pulp operations earned a combined 6.2 billion yen in net profit during fiscal 2018. This could rise to more than 10 billion yen in the mid-2020s, depending on market conditions, a company source said.<\/p>\n

Global production of industrial roundwood rose to 1.96 billion cu. meters in 2018 from 1.55 billion cu. meters in 2009, United Nations data shows.<\/p>\n

Research into new technologies using wood could boost demand for timber further. Japanese developer Sumitomo Forestry announced plans last year for a wooden skyscraper, while strong yet lightweight wood-derived nanocellulose draws attention as a potential alternative to plastic.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
