Anonymous users2024-01-23Until Chinese-backed buyers started paying for rosewoods, no one noticed the knotty, yellow-flowering trees that dotted northern Côte d'Ivoire. Five years ago, Côte d'Ivoire was in the midst of a turbulent era of logging, with chaotic permits and illegal logging, culminating in a ban on rosewood by the government in 2014. Jean Garneau, adviser to the Government of Côte d'Ivoire rosewood, said
Those trees have been growing there for decades. It was only when we found out that this wood was popular in China that we realized its value. ”
The surge in Chinese demand for rosewood has spurred at least $1.3 billion in rosewood trade in West Africa, much of it illegal. This has resulted in the deforestation of large swaths of the forest.
China is the world's largest consumer of wood, and rosewood is popular in the country because of the popularity of antique furniture among the middle class. Importers initially set their sights on neighboring Southeast Asia, where mahogany was almost cut down, and traders began to look to West Africa.
Quantitatively, the top seven countries that supply rosewood to China are all in Africa. Most West African countries ban the export of rosewood. But regulation has not stopped illegal logging and exports from continuing.
According to the data collected, from January to May, China's imports of West African rosewood surged by 30 percent and the value increased by 19 percent.
Owing to the weak rule of law, risky speculative traders often smuggle timber across the border or cut it into pieces and label it as ordinary timber in order to circumvent the ban.
