Earlier Report Observations

The market for non-coniferous roundwood in Botswana between 2018 and 2023 was characterized by remarkable stability in domestic production, which remained around 804 thousand m³ per year. This consistent output formed the base of the market, while variations in import volumes introduced minor fluctuations in the total market volume.

Import levels, though small relative to production, saw notable changes, dropping from 4.4 thousand m³ in 2018 to a low of 2.4 thousand m³ in 2021 before rising to 6.8 thousand m³ in 2023. These shifts in imports, combined with negligible exports, caused the overall market volume to oscillate between 806.6 and 811.6 thousand m³ over the period. The market reached its highest point in 2023 at 811.6 thousand m³, supported by increased import activity.
