Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2019, the market volume for wood in the rough in Guyana increased from 704 thousand tonnes to 735 thousand tonnes. This growth was primarily driven by strong demand for construction materials due to rapid demographic growth in the country. Support from the state forestry office ONF, including direct sales of harvested logs to sawmills and a freeze on standing timber prices, helped the sector meet this demand. The adoption of digital tools and low-impact logging techniques also improved operational efficiency.

The market stabilized at around 724 thousand tonnes in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic affected activities, though government support measures mitigated a sharper decline. A subsequent focus on sustainable forest management and training in eco-friendly practices coincided with a slight decrease to 718 thousand tonnes in 2021. Despite ONF's 2022 announcement to cap annual investments at €2 million, which raised concerns about future forest road maintenance and sector viability, market volume grew to 750 thousand tonnes in 2022 and reached 765 thousand tonnes in 2023, sustained by ongoing construction demand and earlier investments in the sector.
