Global supply, demand, pricing and logistics of pulpwood and biomass will be the focus at the 6th International Woodfibre Resource and Trade Conference in Istanbul, Turkey on April 9-10, 2013 Worldwide trade of wood chips fell in 2012 and prices for pulplogs and wood chips were down in most regions of the world. But change is ahead. Global demand for wood fiber for both pulp manufacturing and renewable energy is expected to increase during 2013 and 2014. China bucked the trend and imported more wood chips in 2012 for an expanding pulp industry and Vietnam continued to be the largest chip export in the world. Trade of wood pellets has gone up dramatically the past few years, particularly from North America to Europe. In 2012, the US and Canada increased shipments to energy facilities in Europe by 62% over the previous year. These trends raise a number of questions about the future supply, trade and pricing of wood fiber: How will demand for wood fiber for pulp manufacturing and en
