Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the non-coniferous roundwood market in the Philippines gradually declined from 15.4 million cubic meters to 14.8 million cubic meters. This contraction was primarily driven by regulatory constraints, including a moratorium on cutting and harvesting timber in natural residual forests enforced by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), which directly limited domestic wood supply.

Production faced further restrictions from wood processing plant permit requirements administered by the Forest Management Bureau (FMB), mandating environmental compliance and sustainable forest management principles. The Revised Forestry Code (Presidential Decree No. 705) also tightened controls on timber utilization to prevent illegal harvesting, collectively curbing production capacity and reinforcing a trend of reduced output throughout the period.

Industry discussions, such as the Wood Summit in 2022, highlighted ongoing efforts to align regulatory frameworks with sustainability goals, emphasizing a policy environment that continued to prioritize forest conservation over expansion of roundwood harvests. While import regulations under DENR Administrative Orders remained in place, inbound shipments stayed minimal and did not offset the steady decrease in domestic production.
