Prices for export logs dropped approximately NZ$11 per JASm<sup>3<\/sup>\u00a0in January as demand in China was starting to slow down and stock was building before the China New Year holiday period. The strengthening of the NZD against the USD also had a significant negative impact on the January prices.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While the now constant issue of cheaper spruce logs from Europe was still an issue, log exporters expected the demand for logs would increase after the China New Year. However, the outbreak of coronavirus (Covid-19) led to a subsequent lengthening of the holiday period and many workers in China continue to undertake mandated or voluntary isolation.<\/p>\n<p>The dearth of reliable information along with the extreme negative sentiment from China meant there was real uncertainty when the Feb AWG log prices were posted. This uncertainly led to an average price reduction of NZ$20 per JASm<sup>3<\/sup>\u00a0and some exporters took the unprecedented step to stop buying logs at NZ ports.<\/p>\n<p>Log inventory has risen to approximately 6.9 mln\u00a0m<sup>3\u00a0<\/sup>at the start of the last week in February and increasing by approximately 35,000m<sup>3<\/sup>\u00a0per day. This increase in log stock will continue until China\u2019s production struggles back to full capacity as it deals with Covid-19.<\/p>\n<p>Some domestic mills are now concerned about log supply due to many harvesting operations suspended or stopped in New Zealand. This varies from region to region.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New Zealand forestry industry is currently experiencing a very difficult start to 2020.
