Irish timber sales to the UK could double to \u20ac2bn a year over the next 15 years, with a huge amount of Irish commercial forestry set to mature<\/span>, according to one industry lobby group. Last week Forestry Industries Ireland (FII) met its UK counterpart, Confor, in Belfast. \u201cThis is a big market opportunity for Irish commercial forestry,\u201d said FII director Mark MacAuley. The UK supplies only 20% of its own timber needs and is the world\u2019s second biggest importer<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve developed this big national resource of 400,000 hectares of Sitka spruce planted in the Eighties and Nineties that will be available over the next 15 years or so. The timing is good, with huge demand predicted in the UK for that time period.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u200bThe maturation of these forests will double the supply of Irish timber. \u201cWe\u2019ll also be looking to double our exports,\u201d he said. \u201cThis year is not necessarily a boom year for timber sales in the UK, but they\u2019re expecting big numbers down the road.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UK supplies only 20% of its own timber needs and is the world\u2019s second biggest importer of timber. It imports about 6m cubic metres of sawn softwood a year \u2013 mainly from Scandinavia \u2013 with Ireland supplying about 7% in total. That is currently worth about \u20ac1bn. \u201cWe are looking to grow that market share, as it\u2019s really the only volume export market that we have,\u201d said McAuley. But the supply boom may not last beyond a 15-year period, he said. The peak for planting in Ireland was in the mid-1990s when we were planting over 20,000 hectares a year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
