Southern pulpwood production, 2017

Abstract

The Forest Inventory Analysis (FIA) unit of the Southern Research Station annually compiles, analyzes, and reports canvass data of pulpmills in the South. This report for 2017 presents the findings of a 100-percent canvass of pulpmills that used roundwood or wood residues from the 13 Southern States. Of the 77 mills canvassed, 60 responded. For the 17 mills that did not respond, previous canvass data and other sources of information were used for the findings reported in this publication. Regional conversion factors were used to convert mill data reported in nonstandard units to standard cords. The report gives all production figures in cords. Tables A.1 and A.2 of the report express equivalent green tons of production. Unless otherwise indicated, the context for production comparisons (increases, decreases, or stabilizations) throughout the report is the change from 2016 to 2017.
