Canadian softwood lumber exports to the USA in 2Q 2014 increased year on year by 11.5 per cent, to 3.213 billion board feet (or roughly 7.58 million cubic metres), said Canada’s Softwood Lumber Controls Division this week. As they had in 1Q, producers from Québec expanded exports by roughly 33 per cent, to 497.36 million board feet.
According to the data, export figures again rose in 2Q for British Columbia, by 6.2 per cent to 1.533 billion board feet, after a 14 per cent drop for that region in 1Q.
