May 24, Governor Bob McDonnell announced China has agreed to a six-month pilot project to re-open the Chinese market to Virginia’s hardwood and softwood log exporters. Under the program, Virginia export logs will be
allowed to re-enter China with enhanced pest treatment and testing protocols to the ports of Shanghai and Jiangsu beginning June 1, 2012.
China banned both hardwood and softwood log exports from Virginia and South Carolina in April 2011, citing pest interceptions on logs exported from the United States.
For the past year, Governor McDonnell, Secretary of Agriculture & Forestry ToddHaymore,andtheVirginiaDepartmentofAgricultureandConsumerServices(VDACS)staff worked to resolve this trade barrier. In May of 2011, the Governor extended an invitation to technical experts from China to visit Virginia, to see first-hand how logs are harvested, inventories, and undergo treatment or testing to prevent unintended transport of pest organisms.
VDACSputtogetheracomprehensiveprogramfortheteamofofficialsfromChina’sInspection and Quarantine Bureau (CIQ) including site visits that highlighted thequality, safety and security of log exports from Virginia. The Commonwealth, working togetherwithstafffromUSDAAPHIS,theVirginiaPortAuthorityandmembersoftheprivate sector, was able to effectively demonstrate the effectiveness of treatment, tracking and inspection protocols currently in place to guard against unwanted pests in log shipments.
Virginia’s forestry industry contributes more than $24 billion in revenue for the state’s economy. In 2011, the value of Virginia’s log exports was estimated at nearly $57 million, down $10 million from 2010. Prior to the ban, Virginia was a major East Coast supplier of logs to China, the world’s largest log importer.
oKeyDates:
April 4 – APM Terminals’ proposal was submitted to the Secretary of Transportation. May 22 - The Virginia Port Authority Board of Commissioners were informed of the proposal. May 23 - The office of the Secretary of Transportation issued a press release making the proposal known to the public. The same press release included a request for alternative proposals.
