2010 B.C. lumber industry targets China - Vancouver Sun "Right now, Chinese buyers are bolstering a fall market that is usually quite quiet, Keta Kosman, publisher of the trade newsletter Madison s Lumber Reporter. Chinese buyers are a force that can "spin the entire North American lumber market with one swipe of the dragon s tail," in the words of Madison s reporter Zara Heartwood in the newsletter s Oct. 22 edition. Kosman added that Russia has vast tracts of virtually untapped red-pine forests that China would like to tap, but the Russian government has thrown uncertainty into the equation with threats of a prohibitive export tax on logs. "Initially [Chinese demand for B.C. lumber] was because lumber prices were so depressed. Now, with every passing month, they re used to wood, working with wood, and the price is still quite low. We don t expect that to shift over easily." U.S. is not happy with BC s underpriced lumber exports - ForestTalk Madison s Lumber Reporter interviewed Pat Bell, BC ’s Minister of Forests and Range. Bell said, “It is very disappointing that President Obama is talking about pulling down trade barriers, yet the US administration is entering into an arbitration over something that is clearly grandfathered into the 2006 SLA." U.S. is not happy with BC s underpriced lumber exports - Canadian Wood Products "BC has not changed any of its harvest practices since the signing of the SLA. It is no big secret that the longer the beetle kill timber is dead the less suitable it is for lumber purposes. Forest companies in BC are doing the best they can with a very poor log grade," BC s Minister of Forests and Range, Pat Bell, said to Madison s Lumber Reporter in an interview. Chile earthquake boosts pulp prices - Vancouver Sun Keta Kosman, of Madison s Lumber Reporter, said sawmill damage, while severe, will not affect markets to the degree that pulp mill damage will. "My perception is that what s happening [in lumber] is the same thing that happens whenever we have a fire in B.C. Everybody tries to get what they can out of it, but it s short-lived." The damage to sawmills has pushed prices up for products made from Chilean radiata pine, specifically mouldings. Kosman said she expects the solid wood shortage to work itself out within 90 days, as producers, particularly pine mills in the U.S. South, increase their production.
