热带木材生产商,特别是非洲的木材生产商,正在积极寻找将他们的原木和锯材出口到欧洲的解决方案。在刚果首都布拉柴维尔举办的论坛上,约400位参会者分析了平衡欧洲木材进口量减少的方法。下表中所示的数据令人失望。自2007年以来,所有的锯材生产商出口到欧洲的锯材量减半。同时,原木出口量的降幅更大,由2000年的200万m~3下降到2012年的27.6万m~3。 Tropical timber producers, and particularly African timber producers, are actively looking for solutions to export their logs and sawnwood to Europe. At a forum organized by the Congolese capital Brazzaville, about 400 participants analyzed ways to balance the reduction in European timber imports. The data shown in the table below is disappointing. Since 2007, all sawnwood producers have exported half of the sawn timber to Europe. At the same time, the volume of export of logs dropped even more, from 2 million m 3 in 2000 to 276 000 m 3 in 2012.
