Timber harvests in Canada have increased 14% in five years driven by higher lumber production and a rise in log exports, reports the Wood Resource Quarterly
There has been a steady increase in timber harvests in Canada since the global financial crisis because of higher export demand for softwood lumber in the US and increased exports of logs to Asia, reports the Wood Resource Quarterly. In 2015, it is expected that log export volumes will decline about 21% from their all-time high in 2013.
