In addition,\u00a0Germany\u00a0has harvested 6-7 million m<sup>3<\/sup>\u00a0of hardwood species annually for the past five years. The total timber harvest in 2020 will be the highest since 2007, when the cyclone Kyrill swept in over\u00a0Central Europe\u00a0and damaged approximately 45 million m<sup>3<\/sup>\u00a0of timber.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Practically all of the additional ten million m<sup>3&nbsp;<\/sup>of annually harvested softwood roundwood the past three years was exported, either in the form of logs or domestically processed lumber. In 2020, the estimated log export volume was 11.5 million m<sup>3<\/sup>, up by 54% from the previous year and more than four times as much as 2016, according to Wood Resource Quarterly. With the dramatic increase in export volume,&nbsp;Germany&nbsp;has become a net exporter of logs (an estimated six million m<sup>3<\/sup>&nbsp;in 2020), a reversal from having been a&nbsp;net importer&nbsp;of 4-6 million m<sup>3<\/sup>&nbsp;annually during 2010-2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lumber exports from&nbsp;Germany&nbsp;have also gone up due to the large volumes of beetle-killed and storm-damaged timber. However, the increase has been more modest than the spectacular rise in logs flowing out of the country. Lumber exports in 2020 reached an estimated 9.5 million m<sup>3<\/sup>, six percent higher than the previous year and 34% higher than in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The total&nbsp;value&nbsp;of German softwood log and lumber exports has surged by 63% the past five years from&nbsp;1.5 billion Euros&nbsp;in 2016 to just over&nbsp;2.5 billion Euros&nbsp;in 2020, reports&nbsp; the WRQ. The log export value has gone up more than three-fold since 2016, practically entirely driven by increased shipments to&nbsp;China. This destination has rapidly become the largest market for logs exported from&nbsp;Germany, surging from almost non-existent in 2017 to account for just over 65% of the total export value in 2020. Other significant destinations included neighboring&nbsp;Austria&nbsp;(14% of total export value) and&nbsp;Belgium&nbsp;(5%).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/germanys-export-value-of-logs-and-lumber-has-increased-63-the-past-five-years-reaching-2-5-billion-dollars-in-2020--301248707.html\">prnewswire<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The softwood timber harvest in\u00a0Germany\u00a0is likely to reach almost 50 million m3\u00a0in 2020, about ten million m3\u00a0more than a typical [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1873,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"2.12.2","language":"ar","enabled_languages":["en","ru","ar","tr","zh"],"languages":{"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"ru":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"ar":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"tr":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"zh":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1872"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1872\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1883,"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1872\/revisions\/1883"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uwgroup.com.tr\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
