Earlier Report Observations
From 2018 to 2024, the coniferous roundwood market in Myanmar was characterized by overall stability in production and market volume, underpinned by strong state control through Myanma Timber Enterprise and the Forest Department. The longstanding log export ban, in place since 2014, helped maintain roundwood volumes within the country for domestic processing industries, supporting a consistent market size around 362 thousand m³ in most years.
A notable exception occurred in 2019 when the market volume fell to 342.6 thousand m³ due to a significant export shipment of 21 thousand m³. This export activity coincided with the government's ongoing focus on forest product trade. The subsequent period saw market volume return to its previous level, influenced by the launch of the National Export Strategy 2020-2025, which prioritized forest products but also by global logistics disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic that affected trade flows.
Throughout 2021 to 2023, the market remained stable with production consistently at 362.1 thousand m³. The private sector's increasing role in forest product exports, encouraged by the national strategy, did not significantly alter the roundwood market structure, which continued to focus on low value-added products. A slight market increase to 363.1 thousand m³ in 2023 was attributed to a minor rise in imports.
