\n

Last year, Ukraine exported more than 2.7 million m3 of sawn softwood timber, a significant amount of this for wooden pallets and packaging manufactured in European markets including France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland. The country also produced and exported an estimated 15 million pallets, mainly to Europe.<\/p>\n

The severe slowdown in the Ukrainian economy and stop in production will have serious direct impacts on countries such as Hungary, Italy and Germany (the three most prolific softwood importers from Ukraine); and also an indirect impact across Europe by unbalancing the market and increasing competition for more limited wood supplies and putting upwards pressure on prices.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, with Russia exporting approximately 4.5 million m3 of softwood timber into the EU (with Estonia, Germany and Finland the largest importers) and Belarus exporting approximately 3.1 million m3 (spruce and pine combined), Europe will be significantly impacted by trade sanctions that have been introduced against the two countries.<\/p>\n

Some countries source up to 25% of their pallet and packaging timber from the three countries. Alternative timber sources including Scandinavia, Germany and the Baltic states are only capable of covering a small proportion of the shortfall.<\/p>\n

Energy supplies have also been severely disrupted, increasing the price of fuel, with growth in the price of petrol of more than 30%, and the cost of a barrel of oil now more than US$110. This, says the European Federation of Wooden Pallet & Packaging Manufacturers (FEFPEB), will have a \u201csignificant impact\u201d on the cost of heat treatment and kiln drying of timber to ISPM 15 standards, on transport and on the overall cost of production \u2013 leading inevitably to product price rises.<\/p>\n

The above challenges add to existing pressures caused by the ongoing global shipping crisis, labour shortages, low availability and high prices of raw materials \u2013 including a severe shortage of steel for the production of nails \u2013 and generally disrupted transport flows around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe terrible events unfolding in Ukraine have had an immediate impact on industries of all kinds, disrupting vital trade flows, and reducing availability of many different materials and goods,\u201d said Fons Ceelaert, FEFPEB secretary-general. \u201cThe usual supplies of timber needed for the production and repair of wooden pallets and packaging have had been hit hard, and availability has been significantly reduced.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlongside the sizeable ongoing international challenges that already exist in the market, we expect to see a general upward trend in the price of all commodities, including wood. In the meantime, our member associations\u2019 businesses around Europe are working hard to secure supplies from their partners in order to maintain continuity of pallet and packaging production.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
