8Priority growth areas in 2007-2008
- 1. Increase of round log export.
- One of the main directions of Companys growth
is exports of round log to China. Increased
timber import from Russia indicates that the
import from Russia to China appears to be the
easiest solution to resolve the problem of
Chinas indigenous timber shortages. - China currently ranks third in the world by
round log consumption concerned. Russia exports
38.9 of round log total volume to China and
16.7 to Japan. For the last three years Russian
round log exports increased at the average annual
rate of 15-17 and in 2005 reached 19.1MM Cubic
meters (673 mln.cub.feet) while Russia exported
8.2MM Cubic meters (289 mln cub feet) to Japan. - Victoria is currently negotiating long-term
contracts with potential customers in Japan,
Korea, Kazakhstan and the Ukraine. -
9Priority growth areas in 2007-2008
- 2. Import of Construction Materials from China
-
- Capitalize on the demand for the Chinese made
construction materials in Russia. - Save on transportation costs by providing the
back-load to transportation companies that carry
our timber to China. - The Russian construction industry grows at the
rate of 11-15 annually. The key building
materials and semis imported into Russia from
China include building panels, fittings, steel
semis. -
- We plan to initially concentrate on high quality
sheet glass the import of which has been growing
by 17-23 annually. 40 of the Russian sheet
glass consumption is imported from China. As
predicted in the year 2006-2010 the annual growth
will reach 30. Over the last 6 years the glass
sheet consumption quadrupled. - Our existing Chinese customers are also
distributors of sheet glass and sourcing it from
them will allow us to achieve working capital
savings. - We are currently in negotiations with suppliers
in China and potential customers in Russia.
10Priority growth areas in 2007-2008
- 3. Establishing Manufacturing Base
-
- We currently operate in an asset light mode i.e.
do not presently own manufacturing facilities and
do not have long-term leases. - At present, it is more efficient to buy the
round logs directly from suppliers as our product
mix change on a monthly basis. - If and when we decide to produce timber products
we may need to a) lease timberlands to ensure
long-term steady supply of the product and b)
establish a manufacturing base. - We are currently negotiating with potential
European buyers of larch glued board and glued
bars. - If we elect to pursue this project we will need
to purchase a small lumber mill and a drying
chamber.
