ABSTRACT Warren, Debra D. 2011. Production, prices, employment, and trade in Northwest forest industries, all quarters 2010. Resour. Bull. PNW-RB-260. Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 161 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 A new comprehensive version of this report, showing all years available, may be accessed online at: http://www.fs.fed.us/pnw/ppet/ 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, veneer, 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. International Trade Commission; Washington State Department of Natural Resources and Employment Security Department; Oregon State Department of Forestry and Department of Employment; California State Department 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; U.S. Department of Commerce; U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management; British Columbia s Council of Forest Industries; and a number of private industry associations, firms, and individuals. The valuation definition used in the export statistics is the 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 s should not be interpreted as accurate indicators of prices. Unit s 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.

Western Lumber Production and Prices Softwood lumber production A total of 11.3 billion board feet of softwood lumber was produced in the Western United States in 2010, and the total U.S. figure was 25.0 billion board feet (table 1). Total softwood lumber production in the fourth quarter of 2010 was 6.2 billion board feet, and 44.8 percent of that was produced in the West. Wholesale lumber prices wholesale prices increased in 2010 for all of the selected lumber products (table 7). Year-end 2010 prices averaged a 37.3-percent increase from year-end 2009, across all five selected lumber products. Plywood Production and Prices Plywood production in 2010 United States softwood structural panel board production in 2010, at 19,430 million square feet (3/8-inch basis), increased 6.7 percent from 2009. Monthly figures are no longer available (table 1). Wholesale prices of all of the selected plywood products increased from 2009 to 2010. Year-end 2010 prices averaged a 13.6-percent increase (table 8) from year-end 2009 prices. Employment in Forest Products Industries Employment numbers for 2010 In 2010, the number of persons employed in the forest products industries decreased by 2,100 persons from 2009 in Oregon and by 2,200 persons in Washington (table 21). In Oregon, there were 9.4 direct jobs per million board feet of timber harvested in 2007, and Washington had 9.9 (using harvest figures from table 16). 1

Log exports from California and Alaska San Francisco Customs District exported 22.7 million board feet of logs in 2010, compared with 8.3 million board feet in 2009 (table 30). The Anchorage Customs District exported 281.0 million board feet of logs, compared with 204.9 in 2009 (table 31). Pulp volumes in the Pacific Northwest The Seattle Customs District exported much less volume of dissolving grade pulp in 2010. The paper grades of 2010 pulp exports increased in the Columbia-Snake, Anchorage. and San Francisco Customs District from 2009 (table 46). of pulp exports The Seattle and Columbia-Snake Customs Districts showed an increase in the average of 2010 pulp exports. The San Francisco and Anchorage Customs Districts prices were down (table 47). Chip exports Seattle Customs District exported fewer chips in 2010, and had lower prices (table 48). Columbia-Snake and San Francisco Customs Districts exports increased, as did their prices. Alaska exported no chips in 2010. 2

Lumber, Plywood, and Veneer Lumber export volumes from the Northwest The Seattle Customs Districts had an increase in the volume of lumber exports from 302.4 million board feet in 2009 to 542.1 in 2010 (table 50). Oregon exported less lumber in 2010 25.5 million board feet in 2010, as compared to 41.8 in 2009. All California lumber export volumes increased in 2010 (tables 53 and 54). Alaska increased lumber export volumes from 176 thousand board feet in 2009 to 400 in 2010 (table 55). of lumber exports In the Seattle and Columbia-Snake Customs Districts, the average of lumber exports decreased from $649.86 (per thousand board feet) in 2009 to $641.76 in 2010 (table 52). Southern California lumber export prices increased in 2010 (table 53). Northern California (table 54) lumber export prices rose slightly in 2010. Alaska lumber prices (table 55) increased from $898.40 in 2009 to $1,002.67 in 2010. Oregon and Washington lumber imports The Seattle Customs District imported 1.1 billion board feet of lumber in 2010, mostly from Canada (table 68). The Columbia-Snake Customs District imported 6.7 million board feet in 2010, compared with 7.4 million in 2009, again mostly from Chile (table 70). Plywood exports The volume of softwood plywood exports from the Seattle Customs District greatly increased in 2010. The s were similar to the 2009 prices (table 72).. Veneer exports In 2010, veneer export volumes increased for the Seattle Customs District, but softwood and hardwood volumes decreased in the Columbia-Snake Customs District (table 74). The hardwood prices rose in 2010, but dropped for softwood veneer in Washington. 3

Timber Sold by Forest Service Regions Sold volume in Northern Region The amount of timber sold on National Forest lands in Montana and Idaho decreased 23.9 percent from 2009 to 2010 (table 75). Sold volume in northern California In 2010, the volume of timber sold on USDA Forest Service lands in northern California increased 9.5 percent from the 2009 total (table 83). Sold volume in Washington and Oregon Oregon and Washington showed a decrease of 15.8 percent in the amount of timber sold on USDA Forest Service lands from 2009 to 2010 (table 89). Sold volume in Alaska In 2010, the volume of timber sold on National Forest lands in Alaska was 43.9 million board feet, compared to 58.6 million board feet in 2009 (table 95). s increased from $22.42 in 2009 to $68.05 in 2010 (table 96). 4
