Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, Jamaica's wood in the rough production steadily declined from 429.5 thousand tonnes to 412.7 thousand tonnes. This reduction in output led to a corresponding contraction in the domestic market size, which fell from 436.3 thousand tonnes to 419.5 thousand tonnes over the same period.

Imports of wood in the rough remained at a low level throughout most of the period, typically between 5 and 7 thousand tonnes annually. However, in 2024, imports surged to 12.7 thousand tonnes, indicating a potential shift in supply dynamics. Exports were negligible, consistently below 0.6 thousand tonnes and dropping to virtually zero from 2021 onward.
