As far as I am aware, pine trees are specially grown to provide wood for the building trade. It grows very quick, and is easy to process into a finished product.
Most of the trees that we cut down and ship to China is not really house building wood. Ours is of a higher grade, and more valued in expensive furniture making etc. So whilst our loggers are not happy that Guyanese wood is not in high demand compared to the imported wood, they should investigate why consumers are not buying Guyanese wood. It's stupid to complain about the sustainable pine wood, when we don't replant trees in the areas devastated by the Chinese and local loggers.
