New Zealand exported more than one million cubic metres of softwood logs in January.
The Global Trade Information Services data published in AgriHQ’s monthly forestry market report shows volumes up 32% with 1.1 million cubic metres of softwood logs compared with the previous year’s result.
It’s the highest level for the month since 2014 and the second time ever softwood log volumes have gone over 1 million in the month of January, BusinessDesk reports.
China is the biggest importer of New Zealand softwood logs and accounts for 40% of China’s total log imports.
