The information from these surveys (of which you can find samples below, in the Downloads section), together with data collected from other sources (e.g. trade associations), is then used to produce statistics to monitor the state of the timber industry and the balance between supply and demand.

In addition, the statistics contribute to international statistics on wood production and trade.
