\n

The Royal Association of Dutch Timber Companies (VVNH) has concluded that the ever-increasing package of sanctions against Russia and now Belarus have virtually halted trade and thus imports, including timber, from these countries.<\/p>\n

Contrary to previous expectations, an export ban was imposed on March 2 for goods from Belarus, including timber and timber products. This ban particularly affects the Dutch packaging and pallet industry. The restrictions imposed on financial transactions with Russian banks, government agencies and state-owned enterprises, as well as the exclusion of almost all Russian banks from the SWIFT payment system, have virtually shut down trade in timber and timber products from that region. Moreover, the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade has introduced a ban on the export of timber and a number of products from it by the end of this year. The ban will affect the unfriendly states included in the list, including the United States and the countries of the European Union.<\/p>\n

Russia, Belarus and Ukraine account for just under 10% of all\u00a0coniferous wood\u00a0used in Europe (2021), according to official statistics.\u00a0For the Netherlands it is slightly higher.\u00a0The supply of sheet material is also affected by the trade restrictions.\u00a0This will certainly also apply to products from the highly valued Ukrainian oak.<\/p>\n

The Netherlands is a leader in the purchase and sale of wood from sustainably managed forests.\u00a0Here too, what is happening in Ukraine is being accounted for: the certification systems Program\u00a0for Endorsement of Forest Certification\u00a0(\u00a0PEFC\u00a0) and\u00a0Forest Stewardship Council\u00a0(\u00a0FSC\u00a0)\u00a0both decided that because of the violence committed by these countries in Ukraine, wood coming from Russia and Belarus should no longer be provided with a PEFC or FSC logo as long as the violence continues.<\/p>\n

Because wood is a renewable raw material and the European forest grows more annually than is harvested, it is possible to temporarily increase the wood harvest. This is possible without this being at the expense of sustainable management. The Association of European Timber Companies (ETTF ), the Association of European Sawmills ( EOS ) and the umbrella organization for the forestry and timber industry in Brussels ( CEI-Bois) are therefore making efforts, together with other EU organizations and national governments, to seek opportunities to increase the self-sufficiency level of the timber sector and thereby close the gap between supply and demand; for example by temporarily increasing harvest volumes and\/or setting export quotas for round logs, as well as mobilizing existing stocks in Europe.<\/p>\n

In the short term, the sanctions therefore have a very strong\u00a0market-disrupting effect\u00a0on the trade chain and the availability of wood and panel materials in the Netherlands will be greatly disrupted.\u00a0This will also affect wood prices.\u00a0Not only wood, but also other building materials have to deal with rising prices as a result of the sanctions.<\/p>\n

Acccording to VVNH, the Dutch timber trade and sawmills are doing their utmost to find\u00a0alternative timber flows\u00a0in order to smooth out the imbalance in supply and demand.\u00a0In addition, also of the availability of wood and wood products within Europe or even beyond, but also of the development of fuel and energy prices, consumer confidence and other market factors.<\/p>\n

The Royal Association of Dutch Timber Companies (VVNH) represents the interests of 215 members who together account for approximately 65% \u200b\u200bof the import and trade in timber and panel materials in the Netherlands. 92% of this is demonstrably sourced from sustainably certified managed forests.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
