REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHERIES FORESTRY BRANCH REPORT ON COMMERCIAL TIMBER RESOURCES AND PRIMARY ROUNDWOOD PROCESSING IN SOUTH AFRICA 2007/2008 Compiled on behalf of the Directorate: Forestry Technical and Information Services, by Forestry Economics Services CC Copies available from: Directorate: Forestry Technical and Information Services Private Bag X93 Pretoria 0001 South Africa Cost: South Africa: R150.00 (Incl. VAT) Foreign countries: R325 (or US $ 45.00) post free PREFACE This Report contains information relating to the commercial timber resource and the primary roundwood processors in South Africa for the period July 2007 to June 2008. The Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Directorate: FTIS has commissioned a private sector enterprise to perform the task of gathering and reporting on this information, on its behalf. This is the eighth timber industry statistics Report presented under this arrangement. The method of gathering the timber resource and roundwood processing information, which has remained unchanged, is to circulate forms to all identified plantation owners and timber processors for completion. The mailing list has been continuously updated over the past year and additional names added, when this information has become available. The questionnaire was redesigned to streamline it and try and make it more user friendly. This has contributed to the improvement and completeness of the information supplied. The result is that the number of responses on which the information in this Report is based has improved over time. This Report contains the information supplied from a total of 1 097 plantation returns (2006/2007: 1 057) and 170 roundwood timber processing returns (2006/2007: 162). The reason for the slight decrease in the number of returns received can be attributed to the fact that some of the growers have sold off some of their plantations or have restructured their plantations according to their new management structures. Returns were received from all the major plantation owners and all the major timber processors and, because the South African timber industry is characterised by the dominance of a very few large participants, the overall results of the survey are regarded as representative of the status of the South African timber industry for the reporting period of July 2007 to June 2008. The information in this Report is only based on actual information received and have both been compiled using the same database, with the result that comparisons with previous years are now possible. An interpretation of some of the differences noted between the two latest Reports is discussed in a specific section of this Report. The reader should review the comments in that section and adjust their interpretation of the detailed information contained elsewhere accordingly. Forestry Economics Services extends its sincere appreciation to all who made the basic information available and would like to thank the various industry representative organisations who kindly provided assistance.

Private sector ownership accounts for 83% (82%) of the total plantation area. Softwood species cover 53% (53%) of the area and hardwood species cover 47% (47%). 55% (55%) of the plantation area is managed mainly for pulpwood production, 36% (36%) for sawlog purposes and 5% (5%) for mining timber with the remaining 3% (3%) for other purposes. During the 2007/2008 year 10 850 536 tons (10 761 549 tons) were sold as pulpwood, 4 999 405 m³ (5 373 608 m³) as sawlogs and 416 537 tons (516 478 tons) as mining timber. The conversion from one specie to another specie was 8 843 hectares (8 297 ha) whilst the conversion from forestry to other agricultural uses was 697 hectares (794 ha). New afforestation amounted to 4 641 hectares (2 197 ha) Primary Roundwood Processing (2006/2007 figures are shown in brackets) 183 (178) plants were in operation, of which 102 (102) were sawmills (including veneer and plywood plants), 44 (38) pole treating plants, 19 (20) pulp and board mills and chipping plants and 13 (13) mining timber mills. The total roundwood intake during the year was 19 689 937 m³ (19 809 460 m³). The delivered at mill cost of the total roundwood intake was R6 047 million (R5 167 million). The value of sales of timber products totalled R21 361 million (R18 465 million). An amount of some R15 821 million (R15 781 million) was invested in primary roundwood processing plants iv GENERAL INTRODUCTION SCOPE OF POSTAL SURVEYS Commercial Timber Resources The survey covers all known commercial timber plantations, irrespective of size, managed by private and public authorities in the Republic of South Africa. The figures reflected in this report are as supplied by the various plantation owners and processors. Private Authorities Individuals and partnerships Companies and close corporations Association, educational or religious institutions Public Authorities SAFCOL (South African Forestry Company Limited) Government Departments Local authorities Primary Roundwood Processing The survey covers all known timber processing plants engaged in the sawing, cutting, treating, peeling, slicing, chipping or other processing of roundwood as they are processed from living or dead trees or parts of trees. In the process of gathering plantation information in the previous reporting period certain purchases of timber were identified and have, where possible been included in the mailing list. Forestry Economic Zones The area covered by the surveys is demarcated into twelve forestry economic zones consistent with past practice. These zones are based on political (provincial), physical (climate, rainfall, soil). silvicultural (timber species), economic (communication systems) and historic (ingrained usages) considerations. It must be noted that the Northern Province as reflected in previous reports has been renamed to Limpopo Province in this report. The demarcated zones and the magisterial districts within which plantations and primary roundwood processors were reported on are shown on the following page. v Zone 1 Limpopo Province Zone 7 KwaZulu-Natal Midlands Dzanani Soutpansberg Letaba Mutale Pietersburg Bergville Camperdown Estcourt Impendle Inanda Kranskop Lions River Sibasa Vuwani Warmbad Waterberg Zone 2 Mpumalanga North Barberton Lydenburg Mapulaneng Nelspruit Pilgrim's Rest White River Zone 3 Central Districts Alberton Belfast Bloemfontein Boksburg Brits Klerksdorp Lichtenburg Middelburg Pretoria Springs Westonaria Mooi River New Hanover Pietermaritzburg Pinetown Richmond Umvoti Lower Tugela Zone 8 KwaZulu-Natal North Dundee Newcastle Ngotshe Paulpietersburg Utrecht Vryheid Zone 9 KwaZulu-Natal South Alfred Durban Ixopo Mount Currie Polela Port Shepstone Umlazi Umzinto Underberg Zone 4 Mpumalanga South Zone 11 Eastern Cape Carolina Eerstehoek Ermelo Piet Retief Wakkerstroom Waterval Boven Zone 5 Maputaland Ingwavuma Zone 6 Zululand Babanango Mtonjaneni Lower Umfolozi Mtunzini Eshowe Nkandla Hlabisa Bizana Mqanduli Cathcart Ngqeleni Elliot Port Elizabeth Engcobo Qumbu Hankey Keiskammahoek King William's Town Komga Stutterheim Tabankulu Libode Tsolo Lusikisiki Umtata Maclear Umzimkulu Zone 12 Southern Cape George Humansdorp Knysna Mossel Bay Zone 13 Western Cape Belville Bredasdorp Caledon Cape Town Ceres Heidelberg Montagu Paarl Riversdale Somerset West Stellenbosch Swellendam Tulbagh Wellington Wynberg vi Symbols, Abbreviations and Conversion Factors (a) Symbols and abbreviations used m³ t Pvt Pub ha = = = = = = nil or negligible cubic metres metric tons Private sector Public sector hectares (b) Rounding All figures are rounded to the nearest full number. Totals of number lists may therefore show minor rounding differences. (c) Conversion factors Conversions between metric tons and cubic metres of roundwood have been made using the following conversion factors: Softwood Sawlogs Pulpwood 1 ton = 0.94m³ 1 ton = 1.0m³ Eucalyptus grandis Sawlogs 1 ton = 0.94m³ Pulpwood 1 ton = 1.47m³ Other Gum Species Sawlogs 1 ton = 0.78m³ Pulpwood 1 ton = 1.25m³ Wattle 1 ton = 1.138m³ Poplar 1 ton = 1.03m³ vii COMPARISON OF 2007/2008 WITH 2006/2007 Introduction The reliability of the figures recorded in the industry statistics report is largely dependent on the completeness of information obtained. Although the number of returns received this year is fractionally higher than the previous reporting year, it is still evident that there are a number of potential respondents whose information is not included in this publication. A number of plantation owners not included in the original mailing list were noted during the statistics information gathering process. These plantation owners will be included in the next circulation. Similarly, a number of additional buyers of roundwood were identified from various sources and also from completed plantation owner forms received. These too have now been included in the next circulation. Despite these known shortcomings in terms of the number of plantation owners and primary processors we believe that the results are substantially adequate for interpreting the state of the South African forestry industry for the 2007/2008 reporting period. The South African timber industry is characterised by a limited number of major plantation owners and processors all of whom supplied the requested information. Plantation Area The 2007/2008 reported area of 1 257 341 hectares is 8 855 hectares, 0.7%, less than the 1 266 196 hectares reported for 2006/2007. A comparison, by province, of the 2007/2008 reported plantation area and the area included in this Report is given in the table below. Province Limpopo Province Mpumalanga North West Province Free State KwaZulu-Natal Eastern Cape Western Cape TOTAL 2008 Afforested Area Hectares % 47 982 3.8 510 263 40.6 126 0.0 0.0 486 020 38.7 153 380 12.2 59 570 4.7 1 257 341 100.0 2007 Afforested Area Hectares % 48 096 3.8 514 831 40.7 126 0.0 0.0 486 967 38.5 155 079 12.2 61 097 4.8 1 266 196 100.0 Purpose of Plantations Plantations are generally grown for a specified purpose, as this will dictate the appropriate silvicultural practice. Notwithstanding the intended purpose for which the plantations are grown, the actual sales mix at the time of harvesting will invariably include other forest products. This Report reflects a small change in the intended purpose for which certain softwood and hardwood plantations are grown as shown in the table below. viii Product Sawlogs Pulpwood Mining Timber Other TOTAL 2008 Softwood Hardwood % % 66 32 2 100 4 80 11 5 100 2007 Softwood Hardwood % % 65 33 2 100 4 80 11 5 100 Timber sold as mining timber has stabilised over the past reporting period and this has been confirmed in this Report by being very similar but timber sold to chip manufacturers, who sell hardwood pulpwood chips to Far Eastern markets, has remained more static. Sales Volumes from Plantations A comparison of sales volumes from plantations for the period 2007/2008 and 2006/2007 is shown in the table below. Product Sawlogs Poles Mining Timber Pulpwood Charcoal & Firewood Other 2008 2007 4 999 405 435 387 416 537 10 850 536 217 716 200 421 m³ 5 373 608 m³ 494 861 tons 516 478 tons 10 761 549 tons 244 029 tons 152 919 m³ m³ tons tons tons tons Changes in sales volumes would generally reflect changes in market conditions between reporting periods and this probably accounts for most of the difference seen in the above table. A further contributing factor for the lower sales volumes, were the devastating fires that occurred before and within this reporting period. The lower sales volumes, 2.5 %, reflected in the table above are consistent with market indicators. Estimated Understatement of Reported Plantation Area and Processing Capacity A comparison of total sales of timber with total purchases of timber by processors indicates a similar overall volume. However, a closer examination reveals that sawlog sales from plantations were considerably higher than the reported volume purchased by sawmills. Conversely the volume of pulpwood purchased was well in excess of reported plantation sales. It is highly likely that some of the difference can be attributed to different interpretations of product descriptions by respondents but it is doubtful that this would account for the major portion of the difference. The following analysis will provide the user of these statistics with some appreciation of the possible magnitude of the understatement of both the plantation area and the processing capacity represented in this Report. The reported pulpwood purchase volume by processors exceeds reported sales volumes from plantation owners by 0.61 million tons. This is a decrease of 0.14million tons compared with the previous year. It is a known fact that in the given reporting period, hardwood stockpiles of pulpwood had decreased and could account for some of this difference. The plantation owners would have sold their timber to the buyer’s depot directly or holding areas, as a shortage of ix available timber was experienced during this period. Pulpwood purchases are concentrated amongst a few major processors all of whom are included in the processing statistics whilst the supply base is widely spread. Given the relative certainty of the pulpwood purchase volume and assuming that 586 375 m³ of the sawlog volume difference can be offset against the pulpwood difference. A plantation area of between 68 hectares and 90 hectares, in cycle, would be needed to support this annual timber volume difference. This area represents between 0.0006% and 0.0007% of the 1 257 341 hectares reported in this publication. If the same offset assumption is made for the sawlog volume difference of 0.59 million cubic metres, the sawn timber production and sales volume are understated by between 25 000 cubic metres and say 27 000 cubic metres. This volume of sawn timber would have a value in the range of R13.5 million and R15.5 million, which represents approximately 0.07% of the reported industry sales value of R21 361 million. The sawlog sales can be regarded as being more accurate than the sawlog purchases because the major sawlog plantation owners are known to be included in the plantation statistics whilst sawlog processing is widely spread across many sawmills many of whom are known not to be included in the survey. Although this above analysis is arguably an over simplification of the differences it is nevertheless our view that the statistics as reported are sufficiently adequate for general industry interpretation. x COMMERCIAL TIMBER RESOURCES Plantation Inventory The basic unit for the collection of information is the plantation unit, which comprises an area of land on which timber is grown for industrial or commercial purposes and which are: (a) producing, or physically capable of producing, usable crops of wood or wood products; (b) economically available now or in the future; (c) not withdrawn from harvesting of the plantation produce; and (d) situated, wholly or mainly, within a specific magisterial district. A plantation unit may comprise one or more stands of plantations, consisting of one or more timber species, irrespective of these stands or plantations being contiguous or not, provided they are managed as a single unit. Area under Plantation Of the 122.1 million hectares of land in the Republic of South Africa, only 1.0% of the area was under commercial plantations in 2008. Table I (page xiv) shows the distribution of the plantation area under each of the twelve forest economic zones and the extent to which the area in each zone is owned by either the private or public sectors. Ownership Pattern The distribution by size classes of both privately and publicly owned plantations in South Africa is shown in Table II on page xv. Of all reported commercial plantations 83% (1 041 501 ha) is under private sector ownership whilst the other 17% (215 838 ha) is under public ownership. The extent of public ownership has decreased significantly as the partially completed SAFCOL privatisation process is finalised. Only 13.7% (172 779 ha) of the plantation area is owned by 631 individuals, partnerships or family trusts, most of whom with an average area of less than 500 hectares each. Please note that the individual grouping includes several thousand hectares of plantations owned by many small growers under timber outgrower schemes operated by various corporate plantation owners. Distribution of Timber Species and Ages Table III (page xvi) shows the distribution of timber species groupings in each of the forestry economic zones. Pine and other softwood species are dominant in the Northern and Southern regions whilst the various hardwood species are dominant in the Middle (KwaZulu-Natal) region. In recent years the area planted to various cloned hardwoods species has increased significantly in certain of the forestry economic zones, particularly in Zone 6 (Zululand). Most cloned hardwood species are Eucalyptus grandis based. The survey distinguished between Eucalyptus grandis and other Eucalyptus species but did not specify how cloned species should be classified. As a result, certain plantation owners recorded cloned species under other xi Eucalyptus species whilst others included their cloned hardwood plantation area under the Eucalyptus grandis category. Care should be exercised in any interpretation of the data in this Report when distinguishing between Eucalyptus grandis and other Eucalyptus species. Table IV (page xvii) reflects a summarised age distribution for each of the main species groups. Detailed age class distributions for the various species in each of the forest economic zones are given in Tables A1.0 to A1.13 for softwoods and Tables A2.0 to A2.13 for hardwoods. These Tables can be found in Appendix A (pages 2 to 27). Pinus patula is the softwood species planted most extensively in South Africa, comprising 332 925 hectares or 50.4% of the total softwood area. The species occurs mainly in Mpumalanga North and South, KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape. Pinus elliottii, comprising 28.7% of the softwood plantation area, is found in all regions except the Western Cape where Pinus radiata is virtually the exclusive softwood species. The total Pinus radiata area amounts to 56 966 hectares and is confined to the Cape regions. The regions with the largest hardwood area are the Provinces of KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga South where 43.7% of all hardwoods occur. The dominant species is Eucalyptus grandis, which accounts for 48.6% of the total hardwood area. South African hardwoods are grown primarily for pulpwood and mining timber production on an eight to twelve year rotation and hence the apparent young ages of the Eucalyptus plantations shown in Table IV. Primary Management Purpose of Plantations Table V (page xviii) summarises the main intended purpose for which the plantations are managed. It is important to note that despite timber growers having a primary intention for which the trees are grown, it is usual that a range of products may be actually sold when harvested. However, silvicultural practices may limit the range of alternate products available when the plantations are harvested. 55% of all plantations are managed for pulpwood, 36% for sawlogs, 5% for mining timber and 3% for other purposes. Softwoods are managed mainly for sawlog production (65%), whilst 80% of the hardwood area is managed for pulpwood production. Detailed schedules of the management purpose by species and the planned clearfelling ages are shown in Appendix A, Tables A3.0 to A3.13 (pages 28 to 40). Roundwood Sales Table VI (page xix) provides a record of sales by product from the plantations in the demarcated forestry economic zones. It is apparent from the Table that pulpwood is the major product, whilst sawlogs are also a very significant product. Details of sales by species in each forestry economic zone are supplied in Tables A4.0 to A4.13 – see pages 41 to 53. A comparison of the plantation sales volumes in Table VI with the roundwood purchases in Table B14 indicates some large differences. Some contributing factors are: Roundwood imports and exports Timber sold from plantations on a standing basis, where the ultimate use may not be clear Differences in reporting units of measurement and conversion factors Differences in reporting periods xii Errors in the completion of forms Sales are handled through intermediaries (e.g. Co-operatives) Differences in survey sample The reasons listed above are unlikely to fully account for the significant differences in plantation sale volumes versus processor purchases mentioned above. The major growers of sawlogs and the major buyers of pulpwood are known to be included in the survey. It is therefore probable that the major reason for these differences is that not all plantation owners are included in the survey results and that a number of smaller sawmills are similarly not included. The impact of this is discussed elsewhere in this Report. Damage to Plantations Part of the potential annual volume increment is destroyed by fire, climatic factors, insects and diseases. Estimates of future timber supply must allow for this possibility. The plantation area lost or damaged reported in the 2007/2008 survey amounted to 77 150 hectares. Details of the causes of these losses are recorded by cause for each region in Tables A5.0 to A5.13 in Appendix A (pages 54 to 66). Conversion of Existing Plantations Market and other conditions dictate that plantation owners will convert portions of their plantations from one species to another or even convert plantation land to other uses from time to time. During 2007/2008, reported conversions from one timber species to another amounted to 8 843 ha whilst conversion from timber to other land uses amounted to 697 hectares. A large portion of the area converted from timber to agriculture and other uses relate to the introduction of environmental audits, FSC certification, etc. which ensures that riverine areas, river valleys and wetlands are restored to their natural vegetation. Details of reported conversions are given in Appendix A Tables A6.0 to A6.13 (pages 67 to 79). New Afforestation In recent years the rate of new afforestation in South Africa has declined considerably due to a number of factors, such as suitable forestry land becoming increasingly less available and a tightening of the procedures for the granting of the necessary water licences. 74.3% of the newly afforested area comprised areas planted to Eucalyptus trees, 14.0% to softwoods, 10.5% to wattle trees and the balance of 1.2% to other hardwood species. The private sector was responsible for 100% of the reported new afforestation. Details of new afforestation by species and purpose for which the trees are grown within each forestry economic zone are set out in Tables A7.0 to A7.13 in Appendix A (see pages 80 to 92) xiii Table I - Distribution of Plantation Area by Zones and Ownership Region/Zone 2006/2007 ha 2007/2008 ha 2007/2008 % of RSA Private Ownership Public Ownership Northern Regions Limpopo Province Mpumalanga North Central Districts Mpumalanga South 48 096 233 439 18 219 263 298 47 982 224 151 24 459 261 779 3.8 17.8 1.9 20.8 25 702 128 414 19 476 235 972 22 278 95 737 4 984 25 807 Total Northern Regions 563 052 558 371 44.4 409 564 148 806 Middle Regions Maputaland Zululand Northern KwaZulu-Natal KwaZulu-Natal Midlands Southern KwaZulu-Natal 19 401 78 420 86 554 196 793 105 799 19 594 77 283 85 079 174 412 129 652 1.6 6.1 6.8 13.9 10.3 70 919 82 619 171 129 128 474 19 594 6 364 2 459 3 283 1 178 Total Middle Regions 486 967 486 020 38.7 453 141 32 878 Southern Regions Eastern Cape Southern Cape Western Cape 125 526 74 167 16 482 123 569 75 297 14 084 9.8 6.0 1.1 92 881 75 008 10 907 30 688 289 3 177 Total Southern Regions 216 175 212 950 16.9 178 796 34 154 1 266 194 1 257 341 100.0 1 041 501 215 838 Total South Africa xiv Table II - Number of Plantation Units by Size Group and Ownership Individual, Other Size Group (ha) Partnership or Family Private Total Private Trust Companies Institutions Sector 2007/2008 Government Departments (Incl.

If a firm has two or more such establishments, each establishment is treated individually. Table B10.0 in Appendix B (see page 94) reports the number of processing plants by region and the class of ownership. There are 170 processors included in the 2007/2008 reporting period and Table B10.0 shows that there are 183 plants in operations, the difference being that some processors have more than one plant in operation. The distribution of roundwood processing plants by size of intake and type of processing is shown in Table B11.0 of Appendix B on page 95. Capital Investment The survey shows that the investment in fixed assets amounted to R15 821million for establishments engaged in primary roundwood processing of roundwood. See Table B12.0 on page 96. The degree of concentration of capital investment by processing sector is shown in Table B13.0 on page 97. Pulp and board mills account for the vast majority of the total investment at 85%. Roundwood Intake The volume of roundwood intake by primary processor amounted to 19.69 million cubic metres of which pulpwood comprised 70.0%. The total intake by primary processing sector is summarised in Table VII (page xxii) and a more detailed analysis is given in Table B14.0 on page 98. The delivered mill cost value of timber purchased was R6 047 million (2006/2007: R5 167 million), see Table B15.0 (Page 111). ` Sales of Products 1. Sales Value The total value of reported sales of timber based products in 2007/2008 amounted to R21 361 million an increase of 15.7% on the value of R18 465 million reported for the 2006/2007 period. Woodpulp and paper products continue to dominate the industry accounting for R11 375 million (2006/2007: R9 831 million) or 53.3% (2006/2007: 53.2%). Refer to Table B16.0 on page 112 for a list of all values. 2.
