The year 2019 is marked by falling roundwood prices in large parts of Central, Northern and Eastern Europe. In particular, the spruce is under price pressure due to extensive bark beetle infestation, even in countries such as Estonia, which themselves have not encountered damage by the bark beetle...

African exporters find their European business has been improving in terms of both volume and price signaling a solid foundation to demand.

Producers report that demand in European markets is firm and prices are stable and that this is assisting them in maintaining price levels in other markets. Demand for okoume logs and sawnwood for the Chinese market is slow and prices have not recovered. FOB prices for okan and sapele are also under pressure as demand slows but for most of the other timbers prices are stable.

While West African markets for sawnwood have shown some life, the log market continues to be dull with no sign of any major resurgence in demand from China. What little business can be generated with China revolves around a few select species. There is still no interest from Chinese buyers for okoume logs

Okume demand and hence prices continue to be very depressed in contrast to prices and demand for sapele and sipo which remain firm. Padauk is also in demand and prices have improved slightly.
