Russia: Forest Industry, Competitiveness & Export Outlook

The International Wood Markets Group comes with a new report on Russia, one of the World’s largest wood exporters.

The report analyzes the cost structure of the Russian logging and sawmilling industry, including delivered costs to key export markets. It also examines the future of Russia’s log, lumber and panel industries, providing outlooks on how log and wood product prices in key export markets could be impacted. This report is interesting for the Nordic-Baltic region since Russia is a major trade partner with countries in this region.

Thus, the authors address some of the following key questions:

• What is the short- and long-term potential for log and lumber exports from Russia to key markets in Europe, the U.S., Japan, China and other Asian markets? What are the drivers/impediments?
• What are current delivered log and lumber costs to Europe, China and Japan from Russia?
• When will Russian log and lumber production and exports rebound?  Will Russia be able to attract capital investment to exploit its vast forests?
