Feb 05, 2008. /Lesprom Network/. In 2007, Bolivian wood exports reached a total of $115 million, a 10% jump from the total value of exports in 2006, ITTO informed. Despite slower overall export growth from 2006, high value-added (HVA) products exports accounted for more of the total amount of exports. In terms of value, HVA products represented 62.5% of total wood exports in 2007 compared to 55.5% in 2006. In terms of volume, HVA products made up 39.3% of the total in 2006 and 42.5% in 2007. As sawn lumber exports have stagnated in terms of volume and prices, the growth in HVA products supported the overall sector’s growth. The US share of total Bolivian exports by volume represented 35.6%, compared with 46% in 2006. Other markets, such as the UK , gained in importance and surpassed China as the second main buyer of Bolivian exports. Other markets like Argentina , the Netherlands, France and Italy also increased their intake of Bolivian wood products exports in 2007
