Brazil's wood product exports in March 2025 surged by 18% year-on-year, with pine sawn timber exports increasing in both volume and price (45%/40% growth). Chinese importers should pay attention to the restocking window of Brazilian pine and alternative procurement opportunities for tropical timber.

Brazil's total wood product exports in February 2025 fell by 8.5%, but pine sawn timber rose by 21% against the trend. Tropical sawn timber exports plummeted by 18%, while tropical plywood exports rose by 28-30% in both volume and price. Chinese importers should pay attention to the South American pine supply window and the risk of tropical timber substitution.
