According to data from the Ukrainian Market Review monthly, in 1996-2002 the country's export of timber grew 4.8 times and hit USD 265.8 mln...
Financial changes in timber exports were caused mainly by a 7.6
time rise of revenues from broken-down timber and sleepers; crude timber sales
brought revenues 3.7 times higher than before. Within total structure of
exports, exports of the first articles grew by 19%, while the latter dropped
supplied by 6%.
Upturn in timber exports was mostly fostered by greater
physical supplies rather than higher prices. When export of the articles in 1996
was 414.8 mln. kg, over 1996-2002 it grew 4.9 times hitting 2,031.3 mln. kg in
2002.
Shipments of broken-down timber and sleepers leaped 8.2 times,
while crude supplies were only 4.1 times up. This led to considerable changes in
export pattern: the portion of broken-down timber increased by 15%, while crude
timber share narrowed by 9%. Positive changes are also traced in other timber
groups
