Australian imports of American timber sky high

The latest data from the United States Department of Agriculture shows stellar growth in the export of American red oak lumber to Australia in the first quarter of 2024. Source: Timberbiz Compared with the same period in 2023 there has been a value increase of 1687% to over US$4 million in this species alone, a volume increase of 1531% to nearly 4,000 cubic metres. The ever-popular American white oak also experienced growth of 52% in value and 64% in volume in this period, but this is the first time that its share has been overtaken by its close relative. “We have been promoting the benefits of American red oak in Australia for the last few years,” Roderick Wiles from the American Hardwood Export Council said. “It shares many of the characteristics of American white oak and is readily available and a cost-effective choice, so I am not surprised that it’s taken hold in the Australian market. We always encourage specifiers to look to use what the forest provides; too much focus on the best grades of a few popular hardwood species increases pressure on one part of the resource and encourages waste. “There are over 22 commercial species in the US forest and red oak is the most abundant, accounting for 18% of the hardwood growing stock. Some of Australia’s importers have recognised and seized the opportunity to encourage buyers to consider red oak.”
