Brazilian
Plywood and Veneer
Exporters
are reporting an apparent slowing of demand in the US. This fact led the
Brazilian plywood industries, mainly pine plywood, to shift their focus to
the EU market
Chinese
plywood producers are also shipping their products to the EU market,
creating an over supply and weakening prices. Some producers say that
Chinese plywood marketing is now dictating prices in the market and lowering
prices to Brazilian plywood producers.
Exports of tropical sawnwood reached US$386.6 million in the first nine
months of 2004, 44% higher than the same period last year.
Tropical
plywood exports increased 62% for the year to September
compared to exports in January-September 2003 (ie. from US$173.0
million to US$280.4 million).

Strike
cripples exports
Exports from Brazil are currently affected by worker strike action and goods
worth an estimated US$12 million have been blocked due to a strike by civil
servants. During the almost 30-day strike, only 8 exporters were able to get
critical orders away.
The
strike movement has affected all inspection activities, including
environmental crime investigations. Business is expected to be back to
normality soon since an agreement between the federal government and the
civil servants finally reached in the last days of October
Record
broken
The
Brazilian forest products industry is doing very well at the moment. Exports
of pulp, paper, plywood, sawnwood and many other forest products have been
posting impressive export numbers.
During
the first nine months of 2003, the Brazilian forest products industry
exported approximately US$4 billion worth of products
The
exports of these products in the January-September period of 2004 registered
US$5 billion, a 26.5% growth a record for Brazilian exporters of forest
products.
