Imports of plywood into Spain have dropped again in the first three months of 2012 after a weak final quarter of 2011. AEIM, an organisation representing Spanish wood importers, reported that imports of non-tropical hardwood and softwood plywood were down around 19% compared with the same stretch last year at 8, 133 m³. This latest downturn was predominantly fuelled by dwindling imports from Finland, which tumbled 42% to 2, 628 m³ by the end of March. Spanish tropical plywood imports plummeted 44% to 3, 054 m³ in the first three months. Some 2, 775 m³ or 91 % of all tropical plywood imports originated in China and Brazil.
