Gabon

The abrupt decrease in China's imports from Gabon reflects to prohibition against the export of logs from Gabon which finally came into effect during May 2010. This decline corresponds with a steep rise in China's imports from Equatorial Guinea (which prohibits the export of logs) - which probably reflects the smuggling of logs (particularly of the species Okoumé) from Gabon.
