Since 2012, the harvest has increased by 5.5%, particularly in the Jura area (+103,000 m 3 ) and the Southern Alps (+41,000 m 3 ).

Resinous wood accounts for 68% of the volume. The two main species are the spruce (44%) and the beech tree (18%). 3 Wood harvest by use In millions of m 3 Lothar Sawlogs and veneer logs Wood fuel Industrial roundwood Source: FSO Swiss Forestry Statistics Of the 4.9 million m 3 of wood felled in 2014, log wood accounted for almost 2.6 million m 3. This log wood is almost exclusively transformed into sawn wood.

In this area total expenditure was almost CHF 1,900 per ha while receipts failed to reach CHF 1,800 per ha.

Exported log wood accounts for around half of this trade.
