In June 2014, the value of wood product exports (except pulp and paper) fell 2.4% compared to June 2013, from US$205.6 million to US$200.6 million. However, pine sawnwood exports increased 34.6% in value in June 2014 compared to June 2013, from US$13.3 million to US$17.9 million.

In terms of volume, exports rose 32%, from 58,100 cu.m to 76,500 cu.m over the same period. In a turnaround from the previous month the volume of tropical sawnwood exports increased 2.3% from 29,900 cu.m in June 2013 to 30,600 cu.m in June 2014. The value of exports increased a healthy 6.5% from US$15.5 million to US$16.5 million, over the same period.

Exports of pine plywood fell 12% largely because of the impact of the seasonally weaker markets in the US and Europe. The value of pine plywood exports in June this year was US$ 29.1 million down from US$ 33.1 million in June 2013.

On the other hand exports of tropical plywood, while now very small, increased 2.3% from 4,300 cu.m in June 2013 to 4 ,400 cu.m in June 2014. In terms of value, tropical plywood exports increased 12.5%, from US$2.4 million in June 2013 to US$2.7 million this June.
