Earlier Report Observations

The Gabonese non-coniferous roundwood market volume grew from 3 104 тыс. м³ in 2018 to 3 989 тыс. м³ in 2020, a significant increase of over 28%. This expansion was supported by the country's forest management policy, which granted long-term concessions via public tender with mandatory sustainable management plans. In 2020, the reinforcement of policies for valorizing industrial waste in the wood sector aimed at developing higher value-added processing, which encouraged more comprehensive utilization of forest resources and contributed to the marked rise in market volume.

From 2021 to 2023, the market volume stabilized around 3 984–3 988 тыс. м³ before a slight adjustment to 3 905 тыс. м³ in 2023. This period of relative stability coincided with the implementation of stricter control and certification mechanisms. The mandatory certification requirement for logging companies by 2022, intended to curb illicit practices and ensure sustainable exploitation, alongside enhanced timber legality and traceability through the SCLT-Gabon system, shaped market conditions. Further optimization efforts in 2023, such as organized sales of abandoned wood and continued policies on industrial waste valorization, refined resource use within the established production framework.

In 2024, sector development efforts continued with the government signing agreements with forestry companies to combat poaching and illegal activities, alongside initiatives like the Wood Industries Days to promote industrialization and local entrepreneurship, reinforcing the focus on sustainable and value-added forest management.
