European parquet consumption - stable or slightly higher in the first six months of 2018
The European Federation of the Parquet Industry (FEP) has reported that European parquet consumption was stable or slightly higher on the whole during the first six months. At its quarterly meeting on 20 September, the FEP Board of Directors discussed the latest developments on individual markets. Preliminary figures and information about consumption trends in its 13 member countries served as the basis for these discussions. This data indicated that six countries enjoyed growth in the first half of the year. Four countries had stable fortunes, while three countries faced a downturn in parquet consumption. By way of comparison, ten countries had booked growth of 1-3% after the first three months and two countries registered stable parquet consumption.

China`s huge demand for timber is stripping one of the world`s largest remaining areas of pristine tropical forests
China`s huge demand for timber is stripping one of the world`s largest remaining areas of pristine tropical forests, an environmental group has warned. Trees are being felled at 20 times the sustainable rate in the Solomon Islands, a South Pacific archipelago roughly the size of Belgium, according to a new report by the US group Global Witness. More than 3m cubic metres of logs were exported last year from the Solomon Islands, which together with neighbouring Papua New Guinea supplies about half of China`s tropical log imports. However, no checks are made to ensure timber is not illegally or unsustainably logged, the group said in its report.

Malaysia`s furniture exports in 2018 is expected to decline slightly
The value of Malaysia`s furniture exports in 2018 is expected to decline slightly to RM9-RM10 billion compared with RM10.1 billion last year, says Primary Industries Minister Teresa Kok. She said this was due to the lack of optimism in the current global economy which has affected demand for Malaysia`s furniture products. "As commodities prices for palm oil and rubber can rise and fall, so can prices for wood products such as furniture," Kok told reporters after officiating the launch of the Kuala Lumpur Furniture Design Week 2018 here today. She said the United States, Japan, European Union and Australia were the biggest importers of Malaysian furniture products and Malaysia was the ninth largest furniture exporter globally. Meanwhile, Malaysian Timber Industry Board (MTIB) Director-General Jalaluddin Harun said industry players in the furniture sector must reduce their reliance on lower-value original equipment manufacturing (OEM) segment, and move to the more innovative and higher-quality original brand manufacturing (OBM) or original design manufacturing (ODM) segments.

British development agency DFID has suspended funding for a timber industry reform project because of the Rakhine crisis
BRITAIN HAS cited the crisis over Rakhine State for a decision to suspend funding for Myanmar`s effort to join a European Union initiative aimed at combatting illegal logging and promoting effective forest governance. Myanmar has been preparing to sign the EU`s Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade - Voluntary Partnership Agreement since early 2015. The EU adopted the FLEGT Action Plan in 2003 and two years later introduced the voluntary partnership agreements, under which the European Commission is empowered to negotiate bilateral trade deals with timber exporting countries.

The Global Sawlog Price Index (GSPI) fell 1.4% in the 2Q/18. This was the first q-o-q decline since the 4Q/16. Sawlog prices fell on all continents (in US dollar terms) except for North America, where prices in the 2Q/18 were up 3.3% from the previous quarter and up 14.5% from the 2Q/17. The European Sawlog Price Index (ESPI-EUR), which fell slightly in the 2Q/18, has been quite stable during 2017 and 2018, fluctuating between just over EUR 85/m3 and mid - EUR 86/m3. In the 2Q/18, both wood fiber price indices fell for the first time in five quarters, mainly because of the strengthening of the US dollar against currencies in all countries covered by the WRQ. The 2Q/18 Global Softwood Fiber Price Index (SFPI) decreased slightly from the 1Q/18 but was still 7.8% higher than the same quarter in 2017.
