China, Peoples Republic of: Solid Wood Products. Annual 2008. GAIN Report Number CH8059

摘要

Cooling off after nearly ten years of double-digit growth, China's wood processing industry is expected to reach a turning point in 2008-2009. The sector is currently facing several major challenges: raw material prices are rapidly increasing because of Russia's new tariff on log exports, increasing labor costs, soaring freight costs; and a shrinking market based on the poor economic situation worldwide. Therefore, Post forecasts both China's wood product imports and exports will decline in 2008-2009.
