Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the market volume for non-coniferous sawnwood in Senegal more than doubled, rising from 64.6 thousand m³ to 157.5 thousand m³. Domestic production remained stable at 31.0 thousand m³ each year, meaning the entire expansion was fueled by imports, which grew from 35.2 thousand m³ to 127.0 thousand m³. A key factor in 2018 was the suspension of timber exploitation for sawmills, which constrained the availability of local raw materials and increased reliance on imported wood.

Following a sharp spike to 126.2 thousand m³ in 2020, the market volume dipped in 2021 before resuming growth in 2022 and 2023. In 2024, imports fell to 94.5 thousand m³. This decline coincided with strengthened price ceiling controls and significant log supply difficulties due to a ban on forest exploitation aimed at curbing illegal exports and smuggling, which pressured the supply chain.
