Earlier Report Observations

The coniferous roundwood market in El Salvador showed considerable fluctuation between 2018 and 2023. After starting at 11 625 m³ in 2018, market volume dipped to 10 692 m³ the following year before recovering strongly to 12 631 m³ in 2020. This growth trend continued moderately, with the market reaching 12 871 m³ in 2021 and 13 094 m³ in 2022.

Market supply in 2021 was supported by activity from the state-owned forestry sector, specifically the Regional Forest Office I in Santa Ana, which reported sales of second-quality timber including local species. This involvement helped maintain market volume during that period.

The market experienced a significant reversal in 2023, with volume contracting sharply to 7 888 m³, representing a drop of nearly 40% from the previous year's level.
