\n

According to China Customs in the first half of 2021 sawnwood imports totalled 14.06 million cubic metres valued at US$3.573 billion, down 17% in volume and down 3% in value.<\/em><\/p>\n

Of total sawnwood imports sawn softwood imports fell 24% to 9.66 million cubic metres, accounting for 69% of the national total, down 6% over the same period of 2020. Sawn hardwood imports rose 3% to 4.41 million cubic metres because imports from the top sources Thailand, USA, Russia and the Philippines rose 6%, 2%, 7% and 98% respectively.<\/p>\n

Of total sawn hardwood imports tropical sawnwood imports were 2.84 million cubic metres valued at US$942 million, down 5% in volume and down 3% in value and accounted for about 20% of all imports.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that the CIF prices for imported sawnwood rose in the first half of 2021. CIF prices for imported sawn softwood, sawn hardwood and tropical sawnwood were US$254, US$196, US$381 and US$321 per cubic metre, up 17%, 15%, 7% and 2% respectively over the same period of 2020.<\/p>\n

Possible reasons for the increase aree because prices in global timber markets have soared as a result of demand recovery in advanced markets and because some producing countries have reduced harvests. In addition, the global logistics efficiency has been disrupted, container turn-around is not smooth.<\/p>\n

Another reason is because domestic demand in China continues to rise and there is a ban on domestic harvesting of natural forests. It is expected that the price of timber will continue to rise in the near future.<\/p>\n
