Experts of the industry indicates that there has a big change in the national lignum market this year. Whether the southern or northern lignum product zone, or some keystone sales part and import& export lignum has all established a produce and sale mechanism elementarily which suits for the market disciplinary. This symbolized that the lignum market of our country entered in to the autumn.
     In the early and middle 90s last century, the lignum market turned to regulation through the market from planned distribution system, the changing period can’t be replaced. Especially after entering into the new century, the national owned enterprises, joint venture enterprises, collective enterprises, proprietorship ones which deal with wood producing, machining, management, import and export no longer pay attention to their so called status of “major channel” and “non-major channel”, and no longer wait for and demand the policies, but pay their attention to the market acting gradually.
     The position of lignum production, machining, transportation and sales is not bad from the production zone in the former quarters this year. Especially the four big nation owned woods zones in southeast, they have passed the danger and tired period of resource and economy benefit by several years’ adjusting after the implement of “Tianbao” project. Although the quantity of the wood resource was reduced in a wide breadth, because of suiting for the market change, strengthening the lignum machining ability, improving the lignum general using rate, paying attention to the before drumbeating and after service, the woods were sold fast and the price continuously rise in a level. The pourous woods produced by Southeastern Forest Zone such as manchurian ash, oak, lime, birch, elm etc. are always sold well in market. The need of pourous woods of fitment and furniture this year is not reduced and the price is not falling. The soft wood with high quality such as traditional northeast Korean pine, white pine, larch has a good market, the general price level of increase is in different areas between 40yuan and 100yuan. The market of white pine and larch board is better, small woods and hupo-woods also has a big marker in wood zones, this is because of the continuous development of the lignum machining Industry of wood in forest region, and the small woods has a good sale, the price rises naturally. In a word, the nation owned lignum markets in southeast have a fast sale, rising price, better transporting environment, few overstock. The run of lignum marker come into a virtuous circle orbit
    In southern collective forest zone, after actualizing the “tianbao” project, the forest zones of Sichuan Province which is belong to the upriver of Changjiang River and Yellow River have basically prevented to cut the forest, and Yunnan and Guizhou have reduced the forest cutting project in a wide breadth. Limiting cut has been actualized in the lignum production zones such as Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Hunan, Zhejiang etc. The forest resource providing of mainland are restricted. Because of the lack of general resource, the supply of goods is short, and the need is increasing, the lignum production is active, the price is high. The soft log sells best, and the price is increased by 60 to 70yuan. The rise of fir market has a small breadth compared to it.
There is a more quicken of veneer export and a reduction of import. The export quantum of the first half year is 666666steres with a increase of 55.7%, and the import quantum is 285500steres with a reduction of 28.4%, the export quantum is as 2.3times as the import quantum. Besides, the statistic from January to July indicates that in our country the veneer import is 348200steres and the export is 875300steres, the import reduced by 26.64% and export increased by 71.32%, the export quantum is as 2.5times as the import quantum. This also shows that out national veneer industry has get a quite great progress, the output is increased, the quality is improved, and has been exported abroad besides satisfying the domestic demand. The strain of national market has stimulated the export. From the custom statistic from January to July, the import log is 14175500steres and the importing sawn timber is 3016500steres, with an increase of 54.93% and 40.13%. The import quantum is so big that set up the highest level in the some period in the history, and is expected to get 20millionsteres in the end of the year. Although the import quantum is increased in a wide breadth, the price of lignum custom port is reduced. The log importation was increased by 52.5% in the first half year, but the sum was increased by 20.4%, the sawn timber importation was increased by 39.3%, while the sum was increased by 21.9%. The unit pride of kinds of wood such as pourous log, soft and pourous sawn timber, veneer etc, get a general reduction besides the unit price of the soft log has a small increase.
        This year will always be in a demanding situation from the sale. Whether the local resource or the import lignum, whether the building or fitment material, whether used in the big and medium sized cities or in countries, all have a bloom demand. The buyer market which is very hard in a lasting period has begun to move. Although the situation of mass wood market is fine, the general wood price has no obvious advance. Most of wood, especially import wood is managed in tiny profit. This is an important behavior that the lignum market has come into the autumn, and indicates that the lignum management has entered into a tiny profit completing period, the producers and managers in the sales region have been tempered calm. Such phenomena that once meeting twists and turns in management, expect the government to send the document and control is fewer and fewer. People have found that market is not horrible but well-regulated.
