Reduced supply from New Zealand increase price pressure for logs in China
Log demand in China has not increased as much as expected after the Lunar New Year, but there will be significantly reduced log supply from New Zealand due to several severe weather events across the top half of the North Island. This will likely increase price pressure for logs in China. The domestic demand for logs is weakening as building projects are cancelled or delayed. China softwood log inventory is just over 4m m3 and port offtake is still stubbornly sitting at about 60k per day. There are very recent indications port offtake may be increasing but nothing sustained yet. The CFR price for A grade radiata logs in China is in the range 135-140 USD per JASm3 . South American logs are again heading to China with January and February loaded vessels selling for 110-120 USD per JASm3, but March offers are in the high 120’s. European spruce is offered at 160 EUR (168 USD) per... Continue reading →

Log and sawnwood availability in Vietnam problematic and price a major issue
Due to the impact of Covid-19 imported wood raw materials from major suppliers is now problematic. Availability and supply chain disruptions have pushed up prices for imported wood which is affecting the willingness of Vietnamese manufacturers to accept orders with a long delivery period. In addition to the high cost of imports prices of local plantation timber have jumped about 5%. Practical solutions taken by the Government and the private sector have helped industries grasp market opportunities and record impressive growth in 2021. By the end of 2021 W&WP exports reached US$14.8 billion, up by 20% compared to 2020 and accounting for 4.4% of the total export earnings by the country. In particular, the share of high value-added WPs (wooden furniture, floorings, doors etc.) rose sharply. W&WP exports to top markets, such as the US, China, Japan, EU, South Korea, Canada...

Sawmills in China slowed down or stopped production in May due high costs of imported logs
In March import prices in China had picked up despite total log inventory still building to over 8 million m3 when including the significant volume also on vessels. These price increases defied economic sense as inventory was still high, and demand was uncertain. It appears this demand was driven purely by concerns about global log and sawn timber supply, as manufacturing and construction recommenced in China. The same day the Covid-19 lockdown was announced in New Zealand, market prices for logs in China increased by +RMB150.... Continue reading →
