TOMSK, Jan 21 – RIA Tomsk. The Tomsk region in 2018 supplied 43% of total exports of wood and wood products to Uzbekistan; China is in the second place – it bought 35% of Tomsk timber, the deputy head of the department for control and supervision of plant, grain quality and seed control department of the regional Rosselkhoznadzor Vladislav Azarenko told RIA Tomsk on Monday.

Earlier it was reported that the region almost stopped the export of roundwood, in 2017 only 0.2% of the total volume of logging was exported. According to the Tomsk Customs, in the first half of 2018, the volume of timber exports from suppliers of the Tomsk region amounted to 370.3 thousand tons for a total of $ 76.76 million. A year earlier – 254.29 thousand tons for 47.26 million US dollars.

As Azarenko told RIA Tomsk, in 2018 the export volume of raw wood remained almost unchanged. It amounted to about 58.5 thousand cubic meters. He also explained that in 2017, Uzbekistan and China consumed almost the same amount of Tomsk wood – 36% and 37%, respectively.

"Earlier, the Tomsk region sent to China up to 90% of timber. Uzbekistan began to significantly increase the volume of purchases three years ago. In 2018, it imported 43% of Tomsk forest and significantly outpaced China", – the interlocutor of the agency told.

Among the largest consumers, he also called Kyrgyzstan. In 2017, our region exported 90% of the total amount of wood and wood products to this country, in 2018 this figure rose to 11%. In fourth place is Kazakhstan. In 2018, it bought almost twice less Tomsk wood – 8% (14% in 2017).

According to the representative of Rosselkhoznadzor (Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance), in recent years, sawmill exports in the Tomsk region almost doubled (from 658.7 thousand cubic meters in 2015 to 1,273 million in 2018) and the volume of exported roundwood significantly decreased.

"10 years ago there was the opposite situation: the Tomsk region exported more than half a million cubic meters of roundwood and a small amount of sawn timber. The situation was changed by the repeated increase in export duties on wood starting in 2007 and the approval of a protective tax on the export of roundwood. Changes are also associated with development of timber processing complex of the region", – he noted.
