\n

The German economy is threatened with further massive restrictions due to material shortages and burdens from rising prices for raw materials and intermediate products.\u00a0The sharpest price increase in raw materials is recorded in wood, which is now twice as expensive as in September 2020.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

And there is no end in sight\u00a0: \u201cEvery two to three days, raw material prices are adjusted upwards.\u00a0North America and China are setting the trend, where prices are already a third higher than in Europe, \u201dsays Horvath pricing expert Danilo Zatta.<\/p>\n

For wood, the German manufacturers surveyed expect an increase of up to 33 percent by the end of the year.\u00a0This is driven by a sustained high level of construction and renovation as well as the increasing demand for furniture.<\/p>\n

The wood suppliers can hardly keep up and fear further supply chain problems if the countries react with restrictions to exponentially increasing delta virus variants.\u00a0The\u00a0Siberian larch, which is\u00a0in\u00a0great demand\u00a0in\u00a0Germany,\u00a0is still in short supply as a result of previous lockdowns.<\/p>\n

Because of high wood prices<\/span>\u00a0more spruce should be felled<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyone who needs construction timber currently has to be patient - and dig deeper into their pockets than usual. In order to ease the situation, German Minister of Economics Altmaier apparently wants to have more healthy spruce felled again.<\/p>\n

Federal Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier wants to have more spruce felled again in view of the high prices for construction timber and ongoing delivery bottlenecks.\u00a0To this end, he wants to lift the current logging limit for spruce wood as quickly as possible, quoted the \"Rheinische Post\" from a proposal paper from the minister.\u00a0The paper is entitled \"Proposals for measures to improve the supply of wood products and other building materials and intermediate products.\"<\/p>\n

Altmaier therefore wants to strive for an agreement with the responsible ministries on the implementation of the proposals during this legislative period.\u00a0\"We are dealing with conifer timber products with price increases averaging around one hundred percent within the year,\" the document says.\u00a0Construction companies that had previously bought wood \"just in time\" for specific orders could no longer accept new orders despite the good economic situation.\u00a0There are also delivery bottlenecks and price increases for other building materials.<\/p>\n

Corona slows the timber trade<\/strong><\/p>\n

The reasons for these developments are complex, it is said.\u00a0\"Forest damage and bark beetle infestation reduce the amount of fresh wood and drastically increase the amount of damaged wood.\"\u00a0The sawmills had reached their capacity limits due to the amount of damaged wood.\u00a0In addition, there are political factors that slow down international trade in wood as a raw material, as well as corona-related reductions in production and disruptions in the supply chains.\u00a0\"We must resolutely counter these critical developments affecting the construction industry, the building trade and the timber industry.\"<\/p>\n

The current limit on the felling of spruce wood continues until the end of September.\u00a0In return, the forest owners receive tax advantages.\u00a0Altmaier wants to continue this, even if the impact limit is to be lifted immediately.\u00a0The federal, state and local governments should also use the permitted leeway for public contracts in order to \"compensate as far as possible\" for price increases in the procurement of necessary building materials, Altmaier writes in the paper.<\/p>\n

A large part of the wood is exported<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another suggestion is that if a service is delayed because of the scarcity of raw materials, the public sector should forego contractual penalties.\u00a0Damaged wood that has previously been sorted out and exported will also be used in Germany in the future.<\/p>\n

At the moment, the construction industry in particular is complaining about the lack of raw materials and the drastic prices for wood.\u00a0In addition, a large part of the wood from Germany is exported abroad, especially to China, because demand there is currently particularly high.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
