Earlier Report Observations

The market for wood in the rough in Polynesia between 2018 and 2021 was shaped by a regulatory framework that precisely defined the product as only roughly squared wood, excluding further processing. Market volume grew to 72 948 t in 2019, then fell sharply to 66 066 t in 2020 before recovering to 73 258 t in 2021.

In 2022, the implementation of updated government controls on prices and margins for commercialized products, including rough wood, coincided with a market contraction to 68 968 t. The following year, a less favorable economic climate, particularly a downturn in new construction activity, tempered expansion, with volume rising only slightly to 70 154 t in 2023.

For 2024, strict import regulations defining permitted wood treatments and global pressures such as enhanced traceability requirements and supply challenges from forest fires influenced trade flows, with import volumes dropping to 4 732 t in the available data.
