Earlier Report Observations

The production of non-coniferous roundwood in Cuba remained constant at 1 562 thousand cubic meters annually from 2018 through 2023. The market volume experienced minor fluctuations, declining slightly in 2019 and 2020 before recovering to 1 562 thousand cubic meters in 2021 and 2022. A more noticeable contraction occurred in 2023, when the market size fell to 1 542 thousand cubic meters, primarily driven by a rise in exports to 20 thousand cubic meters.

In 2021, key developments provided support to the domestic wood market. The state-owned Grupo Empresarial Agroforestal implemented a strategy to improve the distribution of wood to producers, cooperatives, and agricultural enterprises, enhancing liquidity for forestry companies. Concurrently, the Cuban government authorized the sale of wood in freely convertible currency (MLC), creating a new revenue channel. The same year also saw the emergence of plastic wood production in non-agricultural cooperatives and private firms, introducing an alternative material.

By 2024, the regulatory landscape for forestry shifted significantly. New rules prohibited private sector engagement in fresh forestry, timber extraction, and support services. Separate regulations governing wholesale and retail trade for non-state economic actors were also enacted. These changes coincided with the expansion of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the wood sector, even as reports highlighted an ongoing domestic shortage of timber and efforts to boost local production through projects like the forestry initiative in Villa Clara.
