China's import demand for softwood logs and timber reaches 2023

Forest Economic Advisors (FEA) and Timber Markets (FEA Canada) are pleased to announce that their latest multi-client outlook report begins work on China’s import demand for softwood logs and timber in 2023-China’s changing supply chain Russian industry/ Export potential.

This timely report will introduce the current status and prospects of imported softwood logs and timber from China. It will include China's adaptability to end-use and geographic segments of timber demand and imports, including perceptions of changes in China's supply chain. It will focus on the Russian log and timber industry and study the ability of Russian log and timber exports to compete with other exporters/species in China. This will include a competitive analysis of the logs and timber costs delivered by the major supplier countries.

For anyone selling in China, access to the latest information on which end-use market segments and geographic regions consume logs and timber imports in China is crucial. In addition, the surge in timber harvesting and timber production in Russia over the past three years has made existing and emerging export regions’ understanding of China’s cost structure and export trends a strategic “must” for timber and log exporters.
