According to data from the Czech Statistical Office, almost 36 million cubic meters of wood were harvested in Czech forests last year. Almost 10% more than in the record year of 2019. The price of wood fell to its minimum.\u00a0 However, due to the policy of the United States and the massive export of raw wood to China, an early turnaround can be expected. There will be little wood and it will be significantly more expensive.<\/em><\/p>\n

\" It's a strange situation. It can only be described as plundering of Czech forests, \" evaluates the current state of the woodworking industry the Czech economist Luk\u00e1\u0161 Kovanda.<\/span><\/p>\n

The catastrophic year of 2018 is to blame, when the Czech Republic was hit by a great drought and heat and the subsequent bark beetle calamity. \"As a result, there was a forced harvesting of infested wood. And because there is a shortage of sawmill capacity and staff in the Czech Republic, it is exported in the form of logs to various countries, including China. And that is, of course, a great pity.\"<\/p>\n

According to Luk\u00e1\u0161 Kovanda, the Czech Republic is losing a lot. \"If we export such low added value, and on the contrary we import from Germany processed added goods in the form of furniture, for example, we lose the possibility of qualified jobs that could increase the level of our economy. \"<\/p>\n

But why are wood processing capacities lacking in the Czech Republic? One of the reasons is the building law and the generally slow construction industry with long approval processes, which hampers the faster construction of sawmills. The second thing is that the situation in 2018 and 2019 was unprecedented. No one expected the bark beetle calamity to cause such damage. The capacities of domestic sawmills and the woodworking industry were simply not prepared for that, \u201d Kovanda explains. vOn the other hand, Luk\u00e1\u0161 Kovanda confirms that the Czech labor market has been overheated for a long time. \"We have the lowest unemployment rate in the whole EU, and it is very difficult to find a suitable workforce in forestry. \"<\/p>\n

Wood prices will rise<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the future, the price of wood can be expected to rise. Globally, there is a large increase in demand for wood, which is also due to the situation in the United States.<\/p>\n

\"Joe Biden is trying to stir up the economy with a number of support programs. As a result, massive construction and renovation of dwellings is taking place in the United States, where wooden buildings are popular. And because Donald Trump has introduced tariffs on timber imports from Canada, the United States imports timber from Europe. \"<\/p>\n

Logically, there is less wood in Europe, which is beginning to affect the Czech market. \" For example, we are already seeing greater demand from Poland for Czech wood. It can therefore be assumed that there will be less wood in the Czech Republic as well. And this will cause its price to rise. So it's not a mistake to pre-stock now,\" concludes the economist.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
