Russia’s proposed log export ban in 2022 will have a far-reaching impact on global forest product markets
Russia exported 15 million m3 of logs in 2020, which accounted for
almost 12% of globally traded roundwood. Much of this trade may come to a
halt next year when a new law proposed by Russia’s president will ban
the exportation of softwood logs and high-value hardwood logs as of
January 1, 2022.
