Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 130 p. Provides current information on lumber and plywood production and prices; employment in the forest industries: international trade in logs, lumber, and plywood: volume and average prices of stumpage sold by public agencies; and other related items. Keywords: Forestry business economics, lumber prices, plywood prices, timber volume, stumpage prices, employment (forest products industries), marketing (forest products), imports and exports (forest products). PREFACE This report presents current information on the timber situation in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Montana, Idaho, and British Columbia, including data on lumber and plywood production and prices; timber harvest; employment in forest products industries; international trade in logs, pulpwood, chips, lumber, and plywood: log prices in the Pacific Northwest; volume and average prices of stumpage sold by public agencies; and other related items. Cooperation in supplying data has been received from the following sources: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Inventory and Economics Research Staff in Washington, DC; Washington State Department of Natural Resources and Employment Security Department; Oregon State Department of Forestry and Department of Employment; California State Deparlment of Employment and Department of Conservation; Montana State Forester and State Employment Service: Idaho State Department of Public Lands and Department of Employment; Alaska State Department of Labor and Department of Natural Resources of the Division of Lands: US. Department of Commerce; U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Managemenl and Bureau of Indian Affairs; British Columbia Department of Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce: and a number of private industry associations, firms, and individuals. The valuation definition used in the export statistics is the value at the seaport or border port of exportation. It is based on the selling price (or cost if not sold) and includes inland freight, insurance, and other charges to the port of exportation. Seattle Customs District includes all coastal and inland ports in the State of Washington, except Longview and Vancouver. Columbia-Snake Customs District includes all Oregon ports and Longview and Vancouver, Washington. Anchorage Customs District is the State of Alaska. San Francisco Customs District includes Monterey and all ports north of Monterey, California. The statistical data are from secondary sources and are brought together to make such information more readily available. Sources are indicated for each table and can be contacted directly for means used in data collection. Readers are cautioned that unit values should not be interpreted as accurate indicators of prices. Unit values for individual trade flows, especially those involving small volumes, frequently vary widely within a year, across origins or destinations, and through time.. AUTHOR DEBRA D.

13 Western Lumber Production and Prices Softwood lumber production A total of 15.7 billion board feet of softwood lumber was produced in the Western United States in 1995, and the total U.S. figure was 31.9 billion board feet (table 1). Total softwood lumber production in the third quarter of 1996 was 8.9 billion board feet, and 50.0 percent of that was produced in the West. Wholesale lumber prices Average wholesale prices dropped in 1995 for all of the selected lumber products (table 7). Third quarter 1996 prices averaged an 11.O-percent increase from the second quarter, across all five selected lumber products. Plywood Production and Prices a Plywood production increases in 1996 United States softwood structural panel board production in 1995, at 26,766 million square feet (3/8-inch basis), decreased 0.1 percent from. Production in the third quarter of 1996 was 7.2 million board feet, the same as the second quarter (table 1). Wholesale prices of selected plywood products increased slightly from to Third quarter 1996 prices averaged a 5.0-percent increase (table 8) from the second quarter prices. Employment in Forest Products Industries i Employment numbers down in 1996 The number of persons employed in the lumber and wood products industries decreased in 1995 in Washington and Oregon (table 21). Third quarter 1996 Oregon and Washington employment numbers were higher than second quarter. In Oregon and Washington, there were 13.9 direct jobs per million board feet of timber harvested in 1995 (using the preliminary harvest figure from table 16). Log, Pulp, and Chip Exports a Washington and Oregon log exports Log exports from Washington and Oregon ports totaled 1,604.8 million board feet in 1995, as compared to 1,572.0 million board feet in. In the third quarter of 1996, Washington Customs District exported million board feet of logs to all countries, and Oregon Customs District exported (table 25).

14 Log export prices for Washington Softwood log exports from Washington and Oregon ports averaged $ (per thousand board feet) in 1995, down from the average of $ The third quarter 1996 values for both states averaged $ (table 27), up from $ in the second quarter. Log exports increase in California and Alaska in 1995 San Francisco Customs District exported 13.4 percent more logs in 1995 than in (table 28). The Anchorage Customs District exported 6.9 percent more logs in 1995 than in (table 29). Pulp volumes up in Washington and California The Seattle and San Francisco Customs Districts showed an increase in pulp export volumes from to 1995 (table 46)..Average value of pulp exports Oregon and Alaska showed slight increases in the average values for both grades of pulp exports from to 1995 (table 47). Chip exports increase in Alaska only The other three western customs districts reflected a decrease in the volume of chips exported in Average values of chips rose in all four customs districts (table 48). Lumber, Plywood, and Veneer Exports Lumber export volumes up for Washington and Oregon The lumber export figures showed increases for Washington and Oregon customs districts from to 1995 (tables 49, 53, and 54). The Columbia-Snake Customs District had an increase of 10.2 percent from, and the Seattle Customs District rose 5.8 percent. Both northern and southern California lumber exports dropped. Alaska decreased lumber export volumes by 55.0 percent from to Average value of lumber exports In the Seattle and Columbia-Snake Customs Districts, the average value of lumber exports dropped from $ (per thousand board feet) in to $ in 1995 (table 51). Northern California (table 53) lumber export average values increased from $ in to $ in

15 Lumber imports increase in Washington The Seattle Customs District imported nearly 3.9 billion board feet of lumber in 1995, mostly from Canada (table 67). The Columbia-Snake Customs District imported 45.1 million board feet in 1995, compared with 49.3 million in (table 69). Plywood exports increase The 1995 plywood exports increased from Oregon and Washington combined. The average values remained fairly stable in 1995 (table 71). Softwood veneer exports decrease in 1995 Compared with, softwood veneer export volumes were down 8.3 percent in Oregon and Washington in 1995 (table 73). Softwood veneer export values, however, showed an increase f ~ r Timber Sold by Forest Service Regions Sold volume in Northern Region Not all ownership numbers are available, but the amount of timber sold on National Forest lands in Montana and northern Idaho increased 21.0 percent from to 1995 (table 74). Sold volume in northern California In 1995, the volume of timber sold on USDA Forest Service lands in northern Califcrnia decreased 15.9 percent from the total (table 82). Sold volume in Washington and Oregon Oregon and Washington showed an increase of 96.0 percent in the amount of timber sold on ljsda Forest Service lands from to (table 88). Alaska shows a decrease in timber sold In 1995, the volume of timber sold on public lands in Alaska decreased 31.9 percent from (table 94). Average values dropped significantly
