\n

In the first half of 2021, China\u2019s sawn softwood imports came to 9.66 million cubic metres, down 24% and accounted for 69% of the national sawnwood import total.<\/em><\/p>\n

One reason for sharp drop in sawnwood imports was the decline in shipments from the major suppliers. Russia remained the main sawn softwood supplier in the first half of 2021.<\/p>\n

63% of China\u2019s sawn softwood was imported from Russia. However, sawn softwood imports from Russia fell 21% to 6.02 million cubic metres which drove down the volume of overall imports.<\/p>\n

In addition imports from Canada and Finland previously major shippers to China fell 51% and 28% respectively.<\/p>\n

In contrast, China\u2019s sawn softwood imports from both Brazil and New Zealand surged and from Ukraine rose 16% in the first half of 2021.<\/p>\n

CIF prices for almost all sawn softwood suppliers rose in the first half of 2021. CIF prices for imported sawn softwood from Canada, Sweden, Chile, Belarus, Finland, Germany, Ukraine and Russia grew 41%, 36%, 27%, 26%, 24%, 23%, 19% and 13% respectively.<\/p>\n

However, CIF prices for imported sawn softwood from New Zealand and Brazil fell 59% and 42% respectively.<\/p>\n
