Kirov Region, Russia: The Kirov Region has significantly increased its supply of birch plywood to India, marking a 20% growth in exports compared to the same period last year.
Since the beginning of 2024, a total of 1.66 thousand cubic meters of birch plywood has been shipped to India, reflecting the strong demand for high-quality timber products from Russia in the Indian market. On August 1, 2024 alone, an impressive 1.13 thousand cubic meters of plywood, crafted from the renowned Vyatka wood, were dispatched to India. This shipment underscores the Kirov Region’s growing role as a key supplier of premium plywood to global markets.
The expansion into the Indian market is part of a broader strategy by the Kirov Region’s timber industry to diversify its export destinations. In addition to India, 2024 has seen the region begin supplying plywood to the United Arab Emirates and Lebanon for the first time. These new partnerships highlight the region’s increasing influence and competitiveness in the global plywood market.
For years, the Kirov Region has maintained strong export relationships with several countries, including Kazakhstan, Turkey, China, and Egypt. The longstanding cooperation with these nations is a testament to the consistent quality and reliability of the region’s timber products. The Office of Rosselkhoznadzor, responsible for overseeing the export quality standards, has confirmed the seamless and complaint-free supply of plywood from the Kirov Region to its international partners, further solidifying the region’s reputation as a trusted source of timber. As the demand for sustainable and high-quality building materials continues to rise, the Kirov Region is well-positioned to meet the needs of its growing international clientele.
