Vietnam captures opportunities from US/China trade dispute

Posted on by GWMI Admin

In the first three months of 2019 Vietnam’s wood product exports were valued at around US$2.3 billion, some 16% higher than in the same period in 2018. The top export markets for wood products are traditionally the USA, EU, China, Japan and S.Korea.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural development (MARD), the export growth rate is expected to rise once the EU/ Vietnam Free Trade Agreement enters into force.

As is the case with several other countries the USA/China trade conflict is creating opportunities for expanded investment and exports for Vietnam-made wood products to take advantages of preferential tariffs into the US.

However, some Vietnamese exporters have fallen into the trap of relabeling Chinese imports as made in Vietnam. Vietnamese authorities are now addressing this and have stepped up Customs checks.

Vietnam jumps to top of ASEAN wood product exporters

Mr. PhamVan Dien, Deputy Director of the Department of Forestry, has reported that in the first half of 2019 Vietnam jumped to the top of the list of ASEAN wood products exporters. It also became the 5th largest globe wood product exporter because of the sustained high growth of industrial production.

He pointed out that the top international markets US, EU, Japan and S. Korea accounted for over 80% of Vietnam’s wood product exports in the first six months of 2019 and this contributed to the positive socio-economic development of the national forest sector which now supports millions of jobs.

In the first half of 2019 around 110,000 ha. of new plantations were established however, currently, there is a drought in many areas in Vietnam and this is increasing the risk of forest fires especially in provinces such as Nghean, Hatinh, Quangbinh, Quangtri, Thuathienhue, Danang, Quangnam, Quangngai and Phuyen.

Enviva receives permit for 1.4 million mt/yr wood pellet plant in Mississippi

Posted on by GWMI Admin

The 1.4 million metric tons production will be exported to power plants in Europe and Asia.

U.S. pellet producer Enviva was granted permission to build a new pellet mill in the state of Mississippi. Location of the new mill is Lucedale in the south eastern part of the state. Enviva is going to produce 1.4 million metric tons of industrial pellets annually there.

The pellets will be exported to European and Asian power plants. For exporting the pellets the company is about to erect a deep-water terminal in the harbour Pascagoula, Mississippi, only some 40 miles away from Lucedale. Enviva is running two other terminals in Chesapeake, Virginia and Port of Wilmington, North Carolina.

Besides the new pellet mill in Lucedale Enviva wants to increase production capacity in the existing mill in Greenwood, South Carolina from 500,000 to 600,000 metric tons annually. Permission for that is still pending according to our information.

Kronospan wants to build its second plant in Ukraine

Posted on by GWMI Admin

The Kronospan Group plans to build a new plant at the Gorodok site in the Rivne region of Ukraine by 2021.

In 2004, Kronospan, with the support of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, built its first Ukrainian plant for the production of particleboard in Novolynsk, Volyn region. Meanwhile, Kronospan will build its second plant in Ukraine near the western town of Rivne. In 2021, Kronospan expects to release the first product. To build the plant, Kronospan plans a total investment of 200 million euros.

Changing trends in China’s wood supply market: Why the NZ log exports and prices have fallen?

Posted on by GWMI Admin

Several cascading effects have impacted Chinese markets for NZ pine logs in Q2 CY19, which will have ramifications throughout Q3 CY19. Some of these impacts are seasonal and some represent structural changes that have been building for the last few years. Cumulatively, these changes have shifted the NZ pine market in China to one of oversupply.

The ‘macro‐level’ issues in brief include: Continue reading "Changing trends in China’s wood supply market: Why the NZ log exports and prices have fallen?"

Södra’s results decreased in the first half

Posted on by GWMI Admin

Södra’s operating profit for the first half-year totalled SEK 2,009 million, compared with SEK 2,257 million in the year-earlier period. Return on capital employed was 19 percent, which surpassed Södra’s target of 10 percent. Net sales for the second quarter of 2019 decreased slightly to SEK 6,199 million (H1/2018: 6,626), and operating profit significantly to SEK 861 million (1,318). All production facilities delivered favourable results and, as planned, CLT production commenced in May.

Further decreasing results expected for the second half of the year

“The favourable forest economy of recent years is about to subside in line with the slowdown in global economic growth. Nevertheless, Södra performed well in the second quarter. However, the economic slowdown will lead to a lower quarterly result for the second half-year compared with the year-earlier period,” said Lars Idermark, President and CEO. “All business areas delivered favourable results. As expected, prices for the company’s core products – market pulp and sawn timber – were revised downwards, but remained at high levels during the quarter.”

Biomethanol production to commence in late autumn

“Södra is following its strategy for sustained profitable growth with a focus on increased processing. In the Södra Wood business area, CLT production commenced in May and investments in a large production facility are under way. The green biomethanol venture at Mönsterås is also making good progress and production start-up is planned for late autumn. Increased timber construction and the use of liquid biofuels are key components of a growing bioeconomy. Forests have a key role to play here,” said Lars Idermark.

Results decreased in the first half

In the second quarter of 2019, consolidated net sales declined six percent to SEK 6,199 million, with operating profit of SEK 861 million (1,318). The operating margin was 14 percent (20). Sales for the first half-year amounted to SEK 12,517 million (12,343), up by just over 1 percent, with operating profit of SEK 2,009 million (2,257). The operating margin was 16 percent (18). Return on capital employed was 19 percent (26) and the equity ratio remained strong at 58 percent.

In the Södra Skog business area, operating profit totalled SEK 79 million (49) for the period. The result was positively impacted by both higher volumes and improved margins. “In Södra Skog, tackling the severe spruce bark beetle outbreak required targeted measures, and despite the extensive damage, the situation was easier to handle than expected,” said Lars Idermark.

In the Södra Wood business area, operating profit for the period totalled SEK 118 million (210), reflecting the lower price formation for sawn timber. Sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 1,592 million (1,515). The investment in CLT production is progressing as planned. Increased processing is the next stage of the strategy for Södra Wood and constitutes a component of strengthening long-term profitability.

In the Södra Cell business area, operating profit for the period totalled SEK 753 million (1,196). The earnings trend was attributable to a declining market with lower price levels, but a continued favourable USD exchange rate. Sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 3,250 million (3,603), corresponding to an operating margin of 23 percent (33).

Pace of growth in US lumber prices slows

Posted on by GWMI Admin

Lumber prices in US edged up 2$ over the previous week, after several weeks of considerable growth

Framing lumber trading was measured through the week, disappointing some who had expected a more active pace after the holiday. Instead, mill order files thinned, while secondaries worked down offerings on their lists.
Retailers and end-users largely maintained a just-in-time approach, sensing no immediate tightening in the distribution system. Prices were flat to mixed across species. The Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite Price edged up $2 on strength in Southern Pine and green Douglas Fir.

Structural panel sales were sluggish, and buyers maintained a cautious approach. The pace of OSB sales tapered, especially in the second half of the week, and prices were flat to slightly higher. Southern Pine plywood trading was mixed and demand failed to meet expectations. Western Fir plywood trading changed little from prior weeks. After a sharp upward price move the prior week, Canadian plywood buyers experienced what traders called “sticker shock.” Consequently, follow-through was limited.

Seized cargo with alleged illegal sawn tropical timber in the port of Antwerp, Greenpeace says

Posted on by GWMI Admin

A cargo of precious sawn tropical timber (padoek) from Africa is currently blocked in the Belgian port of Antwerp after Greenpeace Belgium officially alerted the government of its presence there last week. The sawn timber has been produced by Chinese logging firm Wan Chuan Timber Sarl (WCTS) which has been repeatedly exposed for illegal and  destructive logging operations in the rainforest of Gabon, Central Africa, media reports said.

Since there is a high risk that illegal timber is being imported to the European market, Greenpeace is calling on the government to immediately carry out a comprehensive investigation into all stakeholders involved, prevent the wood from entering the EU market and sanction those responsible.

Wood fiber costs for softwood pulp manufacturers have reached the highest level in five years

Posted on by GWMI Admin

The Softwood Fiber Price Index (SFPI) has risen the past two years. In the 1Q/19, the Index reached its highest level since 2014. Higher wood fiber costs in the US South, Russia and New Zealand contributed to most of the rise of the SFPI in late 2018 and early 2019. It is likely that the upward trend will come to a halt during the summer, and then start to decline in the second half of 2019.

The cost of wood fiber for the world’s pulp industry has trended upward for over two years because of higher demand and a tightening regional supply of wood fiber. From the 1Q/17 to the 1Q/19, prices for pulplogs and woodchips (in the local currencies) have gone up in all 17 countries tracked by the Wood Resource Quarterly (WRQ). Continue reading "Wood fiber costs for softwood pulp manufacturers have reached the highest level in five years"
