Friday 22 Feb 2013

According to information from a recent conference of heads of national provincial forestry departments, the total output value of China’s forest products industry is forecast to have increased by 21% to RMB3.7 trillion in 2012.

The Chinese forestry and forest industry sectors continue to drive development momentum despite being adversely affected by the weak global economy. The RMB3.5 trillion output target set by government for the sectors in the Twelfth Five Year Forestry Development Plan has been achieved three years ahead of the schedule.

The output values of the forestry and forest products sectors in Shandong, Guagndong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces are expected to have exceeded RMB300 billion in 2012. Output from the national forests products sector continued to expand in 2012.

It is expected that, when the final figures are compiled, log output will be more than 80 million cubic metres, the output of wood-based panel could reach more than 200 million cubic metres and the output of other forest based industries could be as high as 146 million tonnes.
