Harvesting in Europe may have reached peak levels and reductions in softwood logs from Europe due to lower harvest levels, more attractive markets nearby and disruptions from the Russia-Ukraine war are likely to create a significant supply challenge in China.<\/p>\n

Europe accounted for more than 14\u00a0million\u00a0m3\u00a0of softwood log imports to China in 2021 out of a total of nearly 52\u00a0million\u00a0m3\u00a0or 28%. The primary supply risk is a reduction in sanitary harvesting of beetle damaged trees.<\/p>\n

A study in 2021 determined that in the Czech Republic, the epicenter of the spruce bark beetle outbreak, trees killed by beetles represented 56-75% of salvage harvesting in 2018-2019 and salvage harvests represented 90-95% of total harvests.<\/p>\n

European and North African markets may struggle to meet demand for logs and sawn timber with supply from Belarus and Russia choked off. European producers of logs and sawn timber may be able to find an attractively priced home for all their production within Europe and North Africa.<\/p>\n

The route from Europe to China is one of the busiest ocean freight corridors in the world. High freight costs arising from supply chain constraints and high fuel prices are likely to be exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine war and may make the economics of supplying China with containerized or bulk log shipments increasingly unattractive.<\/p>\n

Operating costs remain high, bunker costs (very low sulphur fuel) in Rotterdam spiked to over USD 1 000 \/Mt at the onset of the Russia-Ukraine war from an average of USD 500\/ Mt during 2019 and 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
