Coillte reports phenomenal 40-fold rise in exports since early 2009
Construction sawn-wood exports from Irish saw mills have risen from 5,000m at the start of 2009, to an annualised 200,000m for 2010. Coillte has also exported up to 120 truckloads of wood-based panel products every day this year.
The company also plans to add further value by expanding its range of products in 2010. Demand for Irish forestry products is expected to continue to grow during 2011, analysis which has brought great seasonal cheer to the domestic wood processing sector in Ireland.
