in exports Ghana's
timber exports have declined by about 7% in volume terms compared to the
same period in 2003 and revenues have fallen by 12% to Euro 123.8 million
for the period. The products worst hit are furniture parts (down by 45% in
revenue) and mouldings where earnings are down by about 66%. The
poor showing is, say analysts, due mainly to difficulties the mills have
to secure logs as well as to the high cost of production at the mills. The
difficulties in securing logs for production are apparently due partly to
delays in the pre-qualification and allocation of Timber Utilization
Contracts (TUCs) and the competitive bidding for plantation timbers in
forest reserves. The government says that it expects that both processes
will be completed before the end of this year

locally manufactured bamboo-processing machine has been introduced to the
Ghanaian market to help boost the emerging bamboo industry. This was
disclosed by Mrs. Gifty Ohui Allotey, the Programme Administrator of the
Bamboo and Rattan (BARADEP) of the Ministry of Lands and Forestry. The
manufacturers of the machine, Masterpiece Bamboo Limited in Takoradi,
hinted that the machine was capable of processing bamboo into various
products for both the internal and external markets. The cost of the
machine is estimated at Ghana Cedis 120 million (or US$13,636.00) compared
to US$300,000 for the imported machine. International

240 Peru The
USA still is the main export market accounting for some 47% of exports and
sales are up by about 4.5%. Exports
to Mexico registered a positive growth of 57% compared to the period
Jan-Sep 2003 and now, Mexico accounts for almost 30% of Peru's exports of
wood products. Virola sawnwood and plywood of Lupuna, Virola and Spanish
cedar are the items popular in the Mexican market. As
Loreto is the main Peruvian supplying region, especially for Virola
sawnwood, almost all of the exports from Loreto are to Mexico. China
and Hong Kong are the third ranked market destination for hardwood exports
especially of mouldings, decking and flooring. Several Chinese hardwood
importers have set up production plants in Peru. In
central America the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and El Salvador take
up most of the balance of exports of plywood and sawnwood and these
counties have displaced European countries such as Germany and the United
Kingdom as importers from Peru. Traders
say that the growth export revenues is because FOB prices have risen for
sawn Mahogany and Cabre-uva, plywood, mouldings, decking and flooring
however, volumes have not increased much. For
