Recently, the British Timber Trade Federation issued a warning that affected by global timber supply, the UK will experience the worst timber shortage in history.
80% of the wood in the UK comes from imports, but the outbreak of the new crown has caused the wood processing in various places to stagnate. The wood industry in the United States has lost 1.1 billion US dollars due to natural disasters. The flood disaster in China has also increased the demand for imported wood. After Brexit, the wood from the EU has changed. Imports have made it more difficult to obtain, and various difficulties have forced the UK to find new sources of timber imports.
