Sep 20, 2013. /Lesprom Network/. In July 2013 redwood imports through Pingxiang Port, Guangxi, China, totalled 3,070 tonnes valued at $10.58 million. Domestic demand for redwood has been increasing in China because redwood products are popular and are deemed collectable items that will appreciate in price, ITTO reported.

Traders choose the city to import redwood due to its favourable location and unique geographical advantages.

Redwood imports increased through Pingxiang Port from the beginning of 2013 because of expanded trade between China and ASEAN countries.

Redwood imports have been increasing at double digit since then except for a slight drop in February because of the lull in trade due to the Chinese Spring Festival.
