Shanghai port has been one of the most import port of our country¡¯s timber import, gathering timber from Africa, North America, South America, Europe, and Southeast Asia to enter China through Shanghai port.

Along with the rapid development of China¡¯s economy, the export quantity of timber industry products has been increasing. Every year, China¡¯s market demand reaches 420 million CBMs. However, the conflicts between supply and demand becomes serious because of the implementation of protection on natural forests, the long-term shortage of wooden resources. What makes the conflict more prominent is that China government has stopped the timber-chopping in HeilongJiang and xiaoxing'an mountains , the two major producing areas of our country. All this leads to the huge influx of world-wide timbers. And that is the reason behind annual increase of China¡¯s Timber Import.
