Australia buys just $38 million of timber a year from Japan, but that could soon change with a new push to bring more highly desirable Japanese species into the Australian marketplace.

Markets beyond the United States bought less Canadian softwood in the first half of the year, with the US still taking nine of every ten cubic metres exported. A flatbed loaded with softwood lumber turns toward the commercial crossing into the United States, with Canadian sawmills producing 6.7 per cent less lumber in July than a year earlier. Canada’s sawmills have lost the ground they made up in June, with July output 6.7 per cent below a year earlier after the gap had narr
