アジア向けのスウェーデンからのパインの出荷量が増えています。
下記の記事（英文）なのですが、相変わらずヨーロッパの景気は悪いようでスウェーデンからの出荷量は落ちているようです。
半面、アジア向けは昨対130％だそうです。
アメリカ向けや中国向けは300％の伸び率だそうですが、輸入量は日本の方が
圧倒的に多いみたいですね。
以下、その記事です。
Swedish timber exports shift to Asia
Swedish sawmills exports to Europe are still below last year’s levels. In the first half of 2013, shipments to North Africa and the Arab countries are significantly lower than the same period of 2012. By contrast, exports to USA, China and Japan increased.
From January to June, 5,95 million cbm of sawn and planed timber were exported from Sweden. This means a more than -7% decrease as compared to Jan.-June 2012, when 6,41 million cbm were exported.
Recent political events determined an important decline in deliveries to Egypt (-37%). In Europe, only exports to Poland and Greece are higher than the previous year, but both are rather small customers.
On the other hand, exports overseas have increased, with Japan as a main target. Exports to China and the US tripled, but at a much lower quantity than the rest. Overall, shipments to Asia rose by 30% and with 1,1 million cbm, they comprise nearly one-third of exports to Europe.
The average value of exports was by June 2013, 1836 SEK / cbm, 2.7% less than in the same period last year.
