Earlier Report Observations
Production of coniferous roundwood in Vanuatu held steady at 10 thousand m³ each year from 2018 to 2023, resulting in a market volume that fluctuated narrowly between 10 000 and 10 064 m³. This stability was supported by the 2017 launch of the National Green Export Action Plan, a policy initiative that encouraged sustainable forestry practices and added value to local forest resources, reinforcing consistent output levels.
A business establishment census in 2022 provided improved data on sector participants. By 2023, the market faced elevated operational costs due to high inflation and increased transport and insurance expenses, which were further aggravated by twin cyclones in March. These cost pressures contributed to minor adjustments in net trade flows, with the market volume settling at 10 011 m³ in 2023.
