Timber Industry News'industry contacts, primarily those involved in scheduling and making exports, report that in their view it is likely to be 6 months before normal business can resume, assuming the international situation does not deteriorate.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Provisional data from StatsNZ shows that forestry exports for the 4 weeks to 23 February are currently tracking below both 2019 and 2018. This is below forecast, and supports industry information that shows that harvesting and log exports have slowed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harvesting contractors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Impact on harvesting contracts continues to be significant. Major forestry companies, including forest owners, are working to keep their contractors operating, but with reduced volumes. This will ensure these contractors remain sustainable for the moment, but this approach will not be sustainable for a long-term disruption.<\/p>\n<p>Independent or smaller contractors harvesting woodlots appear to be more affected. We continue to hear of independent contractors who have stopped work, or have little forward work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Processing Sector<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some domestic mills are being quoted higher prices for sawlogs to compensate for lower prices for other logs.<\/p>\n<p>Exporters are reporting problems securing containers and sailings. Exporters are paying a surcharge to access the few available empty containers, which may be adding 20% to transport costs for exporters.<\/p>\n<p>Lumber and processed product exporters are less exposed to China, as they export to a range of other markets, and these markets are generally still operating well. However, continued spread of coronavirus remains an unknown risk.<\/p>\n<p>New Zealand's Gisborne remains the most heavily affected region, given the relative importance of the forestry sector to the region.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Zealand\u2019s forestry industry continues to be impacted by coronavirus related disruption.
