\"\"<\/p>\n

The most significant change in trade flow in Europe over the past few years has been the dramatic decline in log imports to the Nordic countries from Russia. Russia\u2019s war with Ukraine in early 2022 has caused a European halt on purchasing their exports.<\/span><\/p>\n

The total log import volume to Finland and Sweden was cut in half in 2022 compared to the previous decade average.<\/p>\n

Log trade in the Baltic Sea region has declined for two reasons:<\/p>\n

-Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine<\/p>\n

-Investments in forest production capacity in the Baltic States<\/p>\n

The two largest log-trading regions in Europe are the Central and Northern regions. In Central Europe, Austria, Czech Republic, and Germany are the major importers. For Northern Europe, Finland and Sweden are the two log-importing countries.<\/p>\n

Other European export declines continue<\/strong><\/p>\n

Besides Russia, we are also seeing a log export decline to the Nordic countries from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Most of the reduction has been in softwood logs, while hardwood log shipments have been relatively stable.<\/p>\n

Softwood log trade in the Baltic Sea region has declined steadily for the past five years. In the 3rd quarter of 2018, the total softwood log imports to Finland and Sweden reached a 15-year peak. Since then, prices have trended downward about 40% to where they are in the first quarter of 2023 (see chart).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Over the past year, trade flows to Sweden from neighboring Finland and Norway declined the most. Shipments from Sweden to Finland and from Latvia to Sweden showed slight increases.<\/p>\n

Pulplog prices raise due to smaller supply<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tighter supply of pulplogs and strong pulp markets have pushed log prices upward over the past year. In the first quarter of 2023, year-over-year import prices for softwood and hardwood pulplog to Finland jumped 93% and 123%, respectively.<\/p>\n

Prices for imported softwood and hardwood pulplogs to Sweden were also up 14% and 111% during the same period. Pulplog import prices to Finland and Sweden were substantially higher than domestic prices in the first quarter of 2023.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
