ZAMBIA RUNS OUT OF SOFTWOOD

A deficit of pinewood has hit the timber industry following the depletion of the softwood in plantations owned by Zambia Forestry and Forest Industries Corporation (ZAFFICO).

According to ZAFFICO, the available plantations for the softwood will only mature after five to seven years. Timber farming in Zambia is still in its infancy and currently the corporation is the sole supplier of pinewood.

Last year, ZAFFICO hinted that the stock of pinewood had significantly reduced and it would affect the annual harvest.

The company recently engaged Arbonaut Oy Limited of Finland to take an inventory of its plantations, which revealed that the total gross area of the corporation’s plantations was approximately 61,771 hectares, of which 57 percent was planted with pine and 31 percent with eucalyptus.

The inventory findings further revealed that pinewood stock had significantly reduced to 1,281,136m3 (including 546,186m3 of mature stock) as at December 31, 2022, from 3,370,681m3 recorded in 2016, representing a 62 percent decline.

As a result, the sustainable annual harvest for pine reduced from 110,831m3 in 2016 to 82,549m3, a 34 percent drop.

On the contrary, eucalyptus wood stock had increased from 1,272,103m3 in 2016 to 1,862,392m3 (including 1,383,163m3 of mature stock) in 2022, representing an increase of 46 percent.
