In the future, more European timber companies will pay attention to the Chinese timber market

    Claus Rodenberg Waldkontor, one of the German company's leading timber companies, shipped 30,000 to 35,000 square meters of spruce logs from Germany to China on a bulk carrier in July. The German northern timber trading company hopes to improve the domestic log transport capacity, in the future to establish a stable long-term log transport routes, expand the customer range. In 2018, 40 percent of the company's Timber sales to Asia went to China, 20 percent to Vietnam, and the rest to South Korea, India, and other Asian countries.

    It is not difficult to see from this that in the future, more European timber companies will pay attention to the Chinese timber market, and the way of European timber entering China is not only limited to sea transportation. One Belt And One Road freight lines are more efficient in transportation and have advantages in price. Especially under the situation of high sea freight price. The only problem is the end market. Shandong and Jiangsu are the major provinces that occupy the end consumption market of timber. Under the current increasing pressure of environmental protection, it is also worth paying attention to whether the relevant timber industry in the eastern region will shift.
