The heavily interconnected B.C. forestry sector is facing a crisis as 25 mills have ceased operating this year, leaving more than 6,000 people out of work.<\/h3>\n

To the end of August, the cascading series of mill closures and production curtailments translated into an 11-per-cent drop in the volume of lumber exports, according to trade figures from B.C. Stats.<\/p>\n

By value, the loss appears deeper with the $3.4 billion in export sales reported by the statistical agency representing a 25-per cent decline from the same eight months of 2018, which is also weighing on B.C.\u2019s prospects for economic growth.<\/p>\n

And the decline in forestry shipments was the biggest reason driving a 5.3-per-cent decline in B.C.\u2019s overall exports to the end of August.<\/p>\n
