| Abstract: | Sawn hardwood exports from Tanzania have declined drastically from a peak of 24 000 m3 in 1969 to 640 m3 in 1984. Factors influencing this trend include scarcity of fine hardwoods which have been overexploited, production and distribution problems which have led to very high free-on-board supply prices, and unprofitable shipments for export. In addition, inadequate export handling facilities and the absence of direct shipping routes to many potential markets have worsened export prospects, at least for the immediate future. |
