Earlier Report Observations

The coniferous roundwood market in Kenya held steady at approximately 3.2 million cubic meters from 2018 to 2019. A decline to 3.0 million cubic meters occurred in 2020, coinciding with government forestation initiatives designed to curb deforestation and raise national forest cover toward a 10% target.

Market volume recovered slightly to 3.05 million cubic meters in 2021, the year Kenya reported surpassing its tree cover goal through the reclamation of over 55,000 hectares of forest land. After stabilizing in 2022, the market contracted to 3.01 million cubic meters in 2023, a period marked by sharp increases in timber movement permit fees that raised costs and influenced sales volumes.
