THE EVOLUTION OF THE HARDWOOD MARKETS IN EGYPT AND

THE MIDDLE AND FAR EASTERN COUNTRIES

Records show that in 2012 Romania mantained its

position among other European countries, as one of
the leading producers and exporters of lumber and
other hardwood products.
The main markets on which Romania is traditionally
active are: the Near East (i.e. Egypt, Syria, Tunis,
Jordan), the Middle East (U.A.E., Kuwait, Qatar) or
the Far East (China). Nevertheless, Romania has
important links to Europe as well.
