Australia\u2019s average softwood log export price slumped to a reported AUDFob109\/m3\u00a0in May 2021, down 16% on the prior month.\u00a0Exports totalled 158,095 m3\u00a0lifting from the prior month, but still 51% lower than exports in May 2020 at the absolute height of the pandemic.<\/em><\/p>\n

The driver for the decline, of course, has been China\u2019s decision to ban the importation of logs from Australia. The faltering prices appear to have impacted both larger (>15 cm) and smaller (<15 cm) dimension log exports.<\/p>\n

While notable that other countries are now receiving Australia\u2019s softwood logs, what might be the most notable feature is there are a range of countries who have been acquiring locally produced softwood logs, and as the average prices indicate, more than a few of them are paying prices equivalent to or better than those paid by Chinese customers.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is clear to see that since China exited the Australian market in late 2020, exports have not significantly rebounded. New markets have proved to be somewhat less substantial as to volume, but in general, prices have been relatively stable. Despite the recent decline, in USD terms, the average export price is operating inside the recent range.<\/p>\n

While the bans were a momentary shock to the supply chain, the reality for Australian exporters is that exports have always been a supplement from a far larger monthly harvest, representing what is left available, rather than being a core volume, for the most part, anyway. Moreover, exports are of logs that cannot be processed in Australia, in most cases.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
