Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2019, wood in the rough production in Argentina increased from 11 035 thousand tons to 11 468 thousand tons, with market volume rising similarly. This growth was driven by the development and initial implementation of the Strategic Forestry and Forest-Industrial Plan (PEFyFI), which aimed to boost forestry production and wood processing, highlighting increased activity from local companies.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a decline in production to 11 177 thousand tons and market volume to 11 173 thousand tons, as restrictions and demand shifts impacted the sector. The pandemic initially spurred forest-industrial exports but subsequently caused supply chain and demand disruptions that reduced overall output.

After 2020, production volatility continued, peaking at 12 544 thousand tons in 2022 before falling to 11 820 thousand tons in 2023. Market volume followed a similar pattern, dropping to 11 136 thousand tons in 2023, reflecting broader economic adjustments and shifts in export dynamics.
