overview

highlights in this issue» The area of broadleaved plantations and harvest of logs from these plantations continued

to grow strongly in 2005-06.

» Despite soft demand in the domestic housing market, Australia’s sawnwood production increased in 2005-06, based on import replacement and a continuation of strong export growth to Asian markets.

» Woodchip exports rose signifi cantly in the fi rst two quarters (September–December quar-ters) of 2006-07, with broadleaved woodchip exports from Western Australia and Victoria growing most strongly.

forest resource

» In calendar year 2006, Australia’s plantation area increased by 4.5 per cent to 1.8 million hectares, consisting of 1.0 million hectares of coniferous and 0.8 million hectares of broad-leaved plantations (fi gure A).

» The area of broadleaved plantations increased by 9.1 per cent in 2006, with signifi cant areas planted in Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia.

» The area of coniferous plantations increased by around 1.1 per cent in 2006. Over half of conif-erous plantation establishment occurred in New South Wales.

» Roundwood removals from Australia’s forests declined by 0.9 per cent in 2005-06 to 26.7 million cubic metres. The decline in removals refl ected lower harvests from native forests, which have fallen steadily since 2002-03. The volume of roundwood removals from native forests declined by 13 per cent in 2005-06 (fi gure A).

» In contrast, the volume of roundwood removals from broadleaved plantations has increased steadily over the past decade. After increasing by 61 per cent in 2004-05, broadleaved planta-tion removals increased by a further 29 per cent in 2005-06.

» Despite the lower volume of total log removals in 2005-06, the value of log production from Australia’s forests increased by 1.2 per cent, driven largely by an increase in the price of broadleaved logs.

production and consumption

» Sawnwood production increased in volume by 2.1 per cent in 2005-06, despite relatively weak domestic demand. Increased softwood sawnwood production outweighed the decline in hardwood sawnwood production from native forest logs.

» Wood based panel production increased in volume by 2.7 per cent in 2005-06, despite the sharp reduction in plywood production following the September 2005 closure of the Norply plywood factory in Kyogle, New South Wales. The closure of the Carter Holt Harvey MDF

mill in Bell Bay, Tasmania, in July 2006 will affect production in 2006-07.

» Paper and paperboard production declined in volume by 0.7 per cent in 2005-06, principally because of a 6.3 per cent decline in newsprint production. This offset a 10 per cent increase in the volume of household and sanitary output.

» Total residential building commencements in Australia fell by 4.4 per cent in 2005-06. Commencements rose only in Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

» Refl ecting the soft domestic housing market, apparent consumption of sawnwood declined by 3.1 per cent in 2005-06 (fi gure B). In contrast, apparent consumption of wood based panels increased by 3.5 per cent, driven largely by strong growth in consumption of medium density fi bre-board (MDF). Consumption of paper and paper-board declined slightly over the year.

trade

» Net imports of sawnwood fell signifi cantly in 2005-06, with a large fall in imports of coniferous sawnwood, particularly from New Zealand, and a substantial rise in coniferous sawnwood exports to rapidly expanding markets in Asia (fi gures C and D).

» In the September quarter 2006, imports of both sawnwood and paper and paperboard prod-ucts rose sharply, but declined in the subsequent December quarter.

» Exports of sawnwood, particularly coniferous sawn-wood, continued to grow strongly in the September and December quarters of 2006.

» Sawnwood exports to Viet Nam grew most dramatically, reaching 26 000 cubic metres or $6.2 million in the December quarter 2006. These exports, all of which were coniferous sawnwood, made Viet Nam the second largest export market, by volume, in that quarter, behind Chinese Taipei.

» Export growth was also signifi cant to China, which remains the largest export destination for Austra-lian sawnwood, by value.

» Trade patterns in other forest products were mixed in 2005-06, with the value of wood based panel imports increasing by 5.6 per cent over the year, and the value of paper and paperboard exports falling by 4.7 per cent as a result of lower exports

» As expected, the July 2006 closure of the Carter Holt Harvey MDF mill in Bell Bay, Tasmania, led to a signifi cant decline in Australia’s exports of MDF. The volume of MDF exports fell by 26 per cent in the September quarter 2006, relative to the previous quarter, and by a further 36 per cent in the December quarter 2006.

» The total value of woodchip exports fell by 2.2 per cent in 2005-06 because of the signifi cant reduction in native hardwood woodchip exports (fi gure E). This offset strong growth in supply from hardwood plantations and higher woodchip prices.

» Woodchip exports rose strongly in the fi rst two quarters of 2006-07. In the September quarter 2006, the volume of exports increased by 1.8 per cent relative to the previous quarter, while the value increased by 4.4 per cent, representing higher negotiated woodchip prices with Japan. In the December quarter 2006 the volume and value of woodchips each increased by over 9 per cent.

» Broadleaved woodchip exports from Western Australia and Victoria have grown most strongly in the fi rst two quarters of 2006-07. Virtually all of the increase in woodchip exports has been broadleaved woodchips to Japan.

methodologyThe statistics reported in this publication are derived from a variety of sources. The data sources and assumptions made are listed in the footnotes to each table.

In general, all data in the publication relating to imports and exports have been compiled from information published monthly by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in International Trade, electronic data service (cat. no. 5464.0), which is supplemented with data sourced from industry organi-sations when available. Median monthly trade unit values have been used from January 2002 wherever the monthly value has fallen below the median value by 25 per cent.

Care should be taken when using Australian export statistics, by commodity and destination, owing to data quality issues associated with volumes and unit values in disaggregated data.

Production data are sourced from the various state forest services and industry organisations, with some estimates derived from ABARE datasets.

All data are subject to revision.

A number of changes have been made to the presentation and content of this issue of AFWPS, based on feedback received from users of the publication and the associated datasets. ABARE is interested in the ongoing development of AFWPS to ensure that data continues to be relevant and useful to as many users as possible. If you have any comments on the data or issues presented in this publication, please contact Kevin Burns on +61 2 6272 2253 or email [email protected].

overview


sawnwood production estimatesIn recent years a number of state based and ABS sawnwood data collection surveys have ceased. In response, ABARE has adopted new approaches to estimate sawnwood production data. This may have created breaks in the time series. In the November 2006 edition of this publication, ABARE revised many of the sawnwood data series back to 1999-2000, using an approach that reconciled output with ABARE’s sawlog removals data. While this method improved the consistency and comparability of state production data over time, it has been generally recognised within the forest industry that a comprehensive survey of sawmills is required to provide a reliable benchmark of sawnwood production in each state.

ABARE is preparing to undertake a telephone survey of softwood and hardwood sawmills within the coming months. The survey will collect the minimum data necessary for calculating sawnwood production and providing a new ‘base’ which can be used to calibrate production series for past years. The results of this survey are expected to be presented in the November 2007 issue of AFWPS. If successful, it is hoped that ABARE can continue to carry out regular surveys of the industry, and perhaps to expand the survey to estimate a broader range of data.

roundwood removals from Australia’s forests Each year ABARE collects log removal and price data from a range of forest growers and major log purchasers as part of the survey of gross value of log production. These sources include crown native and plantation forest data from state forest agencies and data from major plantation compa-nies. However, with the exception of Tasmania, there are no state based central collection points for private native forest data. Consequently, estimates of removals from this resource have relied on partial surveys of major processors that are known to purchase from private forest managers and general estimates from forest industry experts. The November 2006 issue of AFWPS contained some major revisions to the estimates of private native forest removals in New South Wales.

This issue of AFWPS contains some revisions to historical removals estimates, based on ongoing data checking and discussions with some state forest agencies. In addition, removals of fi rewood for industrial and domestic purposes have been excluded from total removals in this issue of AFWPS because of inconsistencies in the defi nition and reporting of this log category across states.

defi nitionsValues presented in trade tables are ‘value for duty’ for imports and ‘free on board’ (fob) from Australian ports for exports.Apparent consumption is defi ned as production plus imports minus exports. Excludes any allow-ances for change in inventory or interstate transfers.Small discrepancies in totals are generally caused by rounding. All data are subject to revision.

The National Forestry Inventory uses the following defi nitions for tree height:> low: 2–10 metres

> medium: 11–30 metres

> tall: greater than 30 metres

and the following terminology for forest area:

> closed forest refers to areas with trees over 2 metres tall, and with a canopy cover greater than 80 per cent;

> open forest refers to areas with trees over 2 metres tall, and with a canopy cover between 50 and 80 per cent;

> woodland refers to areas with trees over 2 metres tall, and with a canopy cover of between 20 and 50 per cent.
