With the end of the \u2018lockdowns\u2019 in China and with the Lunar New Year holidays over producers had anticipated an increase in orders for the Chinese market, this has yet to materialize. Now producers are looking ahead to the end of February or even March before they expected demand to improve.<\/p>\n
In Cameroon producers are trying to adjust to the high export duties along with handling the administrative requirements under the recently imposed CITES regulations on a range of species including khaya and doussie, pachyloba and padouk.<\/p>\n
At the moment importers are showing no interest in absorbing some of the higher export transaction cost through better prices. Reports suggest the market for khaya is very dull but that there is still some interest in doussie and padouk for the Belgian market.<\/p>\n
Padouk producers are busy milling log stocks in order to ship by the end of this month but, once again, shipping space has become an issue.<\/p>\n
As previously reported for Cameroon for species now under CITES operators must present forest inventory and harvested log stock data to the forest administration before 23 February. This information will be used to determine estimate the volume of sawnwood that is likely to be available for export.<\/p>\n
