R. Sabadi: TRGOVINA ŠUMSKIM PROIZVODIMA NA PRIJELAZU U TREĆE DESETLJEĆE Šumarski list br. 9–10, CXXIX (2005), 489-500 forests are exposed to limitless cutting, and steady destructed, it remains an important material in the human life, in underdeveloped world mainly as fuel, in the developed world it is used for multiple use, and timber trade reflects the changes happening and turning more frequent, following the civilization’s progress. It was the point of the author, to profilize the development of timber trade, in order to stress the expectation of the future pressure on the biomass of forests, and exploring the methods to hinder forests to disappear, which is the suicidal menace to our whole planet. Some countries have in this regard collected nice experiences, the others, due to various difficulties, still keep behind. Measured by aequivalent of wood in the rough, the world’s production in 1996 was about 1.5 billion m3. The same year 749 million m3 or about an “ had been exported in various products based on wood. In 1963 only 20 % of the total of the rounwood production has been traded, 29 % in 1973, and in 1983 about 30 %. The exports of particular product groups developed oscillating as well. Taking the 1975 as the base year, the largest growth was in old paper (800 % in 2000). Papaer and paperboard in the same period has a 400 % growth. Wood based panels in the exports have grown from 100 % in 1975 to 450 % in the 2000, paper and paperboard have grown in exports in this period to 420 %, mechanical pulp to 240 %, the same as sawnwood. Such significant changes in relatively so short time suggest that timber and paper have been deeply involved in overall globalisation. The structure of various groups of wood products the world trade in the last decades has ben significantly changed. The said structure is shown in the Table 1. The main point of development moved from lower grades of manufacturing, of reproductive products to the products for final use, the trend still maintaining. Pulp and paper on the side of imports is dominating in the worldwide trade, having the share in the total value of almost 60 %. The timber trade trends indicate future development to higher share of commodities of final use.
