Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for non-coniferous sawnwood in El Salvador followed a steady upward path from 2018 to 2022, growing from 16 311 m³ to 18 057 m³. This gradual expansion was supported by stable domestic output and rising imports over these years.

A notable development in 2021 was the reported activity by the state forestry office in Santa Ana, which sold second-quality timber from local species. This injection of wood from official sources contributed to the available supply. The market then underwent a transformative shift in 2023, as domestic production surged to 24 590 m³, propelling the total market volume to 26 970 m³.
