Russian plywood production fell to a 10-year low
Compared with January-November 2021, Russia’s plywood production increased by 5.2% to 4.1 million m year-on-year ³， This year’s 3014000 m ³ The difference is large. In the whole year of 2021, Russia produced 4.5 million meters ³ Plywood, creating a new production record. In 2022, especially after March, the output of plywood will decline significantly.
Due to well-known reasons, the Russian market for wood and products including plywood, sawn timber and other products in Europe has been lost. This has also led to a serious impact on the export of a large part of the Russian timber market this year. Since May, the plywood production in Russia has increased from 300000+m per month ³ The output of the plant decreased to 200000+m ³， In September, it reached 215000 meters ³ Low point.
In addition to plywood, the output of wood products such as fiberboard and sawdust particles also maintained a downward trend. It is estimated that the output of these products will still maintain a downward trend at the end of the year and may begin to recover gradually in the middle of 2023.
