不列颠哥伦比亚省的林业部门面临重大挑战,原因是木材价格低,受到通货膨胀、高利率和全球木材供应下降的影响。 British Columbia's forestry sector faces significant challenges due to low lumber prices, influenced by inflation, high interest rates, and declining global timber supplies. 西SPF木材价格低于每千板脚400美元,远低于2021年1 600美元的最高值。 Prices for Western SPF lumber are below US$400 per thousand board feet, far from the 2021 peak of US$1,600. 在过去四年中,16个锯木厂和几家纸浆厂关闭,许多公司迁至美国监管机构,进一步限制了木材供应,使潜在的恢复工作复杂化。 Over the past four years, 16 sawmills and several pulp mills have closed, with many companies relocating to the U.S. Regulatory constraints further limit timber supply, complicating potential recovery efforts.
