Australian Eucalyptus for Niche Veneer Markets in China
Eu Jai Li is eucalypt structural veneer from forests managed by Forestry Tasmania, in Australia. Forestry Tasmania is an Australian land manager, managing about 1.5 million hectares of forest. Sustainable forest management is used to produce Eu Jai Li. Forestry Tasmanias certification for its sustainable forest management is recognised by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). Forestry Tasmania produces about 3-3.5 million tonnes of logs per year, including sliced veneer logs, sawlogs, rotary peeled veneer logs, pulpwood and roundwood. Forestry Tasmania has been developing specialised markets in the Chinese forest products sector for the last ten years. The new product, Eu Jai Li, was developed specifically for this market, to supply rotary peeled veneer logs for products that require strength, stiffness and hardness. It has become the preferred material for core veneer for shipping container floors. The properties of Eu Jai Li, that make it suitable for these products, and the strategy to successfully establish the new product in the Chinese market is described. The future opportunities with Eu Jai Li and other forest products from Tasmania are introduced.
