GLOBAL LUMBER INDUSTRY HEADING TOWARDS BETTER FUTURE

Global trade of soft lumber has increased by 25 percent over the past two years after a decline in 2008 and 2009. In 2011, trace reached just over 90 million cu.m., which is still substantially below “pre-financial crises” levels. China, Japan, Spain and South Korea had the biggest rise in import volumes between 2010 and 2011. However, major importers such as  the US, UK, Italy, France and Egypt reduced imports by 5-10 percent every year.
