In the first three months, Austrian softwood sawn timber exports (including planed timber) amounted to nearly 1.48 million m³. Data published by Statistik Austria show that exports decreased by 3% compared to the same period of 2019. Up until February, they were still stable on the level recorded last year.
Shipments to Italy fell by 10% to 618,000 m³. Germany received 243,000 m³ of softwood sawn timber, i.e. 3% less, from Austria, while sales rose by 5% to 167,000 m³ in Slovenia.
There was a particularly marked decrease in exports to Japan which are, however, on a much lower level in terms of volume: 59,000 m³ correspond to a 27% decrease. Exports to China, on the other hand, increased by 70% reaching a total of 25,000 m³.
