The Research On Current Situation And Trend In Development Of China Import Timber From North American

Along with the increasingly fierce competition of global natural resources as well as the constant improvement in the awareness of environmental and ecological protection in the international society, the world’s attention is focused on the timber resources without prior consultation.In terms of the analysis of our country’s situation, there exists the contradiction between supply and demand resulting from the increasing consumption and the decreasing timber production. In the case of bigger and bigger timber gap, promoting the supply of wood in our country will be more favorable by importing overseas resources. In recent years, China’s timber trade with North America is very active. Based on such background, this passage first draws the conclusion that the characteristics of mutual supplement are advantageous to the timber trade in our country and North America through introducing the supply and demand situation of the two regions. Then this passage selects the data of timber imports in recent 10 years to carry out analysis, measurement and calculation by adopting the theory of comparative advantage and the theory of factor endowment, and clearly grasps the present situation of China’s importing North American timber. According the imported timber trade of North America, it points out the factors of advantages and disadvantages, predicts the future development trend, based on this, it puts forward the suggestions for the trade development of China’s importing North American timber, which is of essential significance for our country to better participate in international forest products trade, in promoting stable trade development and practically protecting the interests of the import enterprises.Secondly, through the selection of part of log and plate import enterprises as the research object, it tracks the flow direction of the product, end use, and the profit difference in each link. The data analysis of the flow direction and use of North American wood reflects the application advantage of North American timber; while the analysis of the increasing and decreasing trend of the price of North American timber suggests the demand situation of our wood market for North American timber. The final conclusion obtained will provide a reference for the timber import enterprises and China’s importing North American timber.
