International Competitiveness Of World Wood Market And China Wood Trade

Wood is a kind of important material that is indispensable to the national economy and people's life. With the development of world economy and improvement of people's life level, the number of wood consumption is increasing constantly. At the same time, world's forest resource is destroyed badly, so the area of forest is decreasing constantly. The contradiction between increasing demand and decreasing forest area is more and more obvious. China is not only an important wood producer but also a big wood consumer, which consumes 250 million cubic meters every year. But China is scarce in forest resource, and the national wood supply is short seriously, the gap between demand and supply of the wood is becoming bigger and bigger. Import wood in China develops quickly for meeting national demand. China has been the second import country of the wood, which is just inferior to America's. China is more and more reliant on import wood. The changes of world's wood supply and demand affect the wood trade of our country, and the changes of China's wood trade also affect the structure of the world's supply and demand. Therefore it is very important that we research the competition situation of the world's wood trade, analyze the changes of competitiveness of the main wood traders , narrate the effect that resource restriction, environment protect put on the world and China's wood trade, put forward the policies about ensuring China's wood import security , better trade condition and improve export competitiveness of the wood, which has not only theory value but also directive significance.The dissertation which is base on wood statistic data from FAO demonstrates the changes of the world's wood supply and demand, competitiveness situation of the wood, and the trend of the main wood traders in 1990s, especially at the beginning of 2000s, and expatiates the effect which environment protect puts on the wood trade of the world and main countries, and analyze the China's wood production and trade, the trait of China's wood trade, competitiveness of export wood, and the security of China's wood import, finally, according to the problems that lie in China's wood trade, puts forward the relative measurement.Research indicates that the world's wood trade will go up constantly, the trade structure will transfer from resource product to deep-made product, the proportion of the man-made forest will be improved in the world's wood trade, the conflict between resource restriction, environmentprotect and wood trade is more and more apparent. The competitiveness of the main wood traders have changed a lot since 1990s, Russian wood competitiveness has gone up quickly, which becomes more important in the world's wood market. But China's wood trade competitiveness descended rapidly, meanwhile, the quantity of import wood increased quickly, so China will face the problems of import wood security and resource protect. It has been an effective solution for ensuring China's wood import security that we carry out forest resource cooperation, disperse the import markets, and improve China's wood competitiveness, implement lasting development tactics on China's wood trade.
