Abstract

Documents the imports of Canadian forest products into the north central region and relates import trends to the potential for expanding markets for the region's surplus volume of hardwood growing stock. More than 42% of the $2.1 billion of forest products imported from Canada in 1969 came into the north central region. The value of forest imports has increased 33% since 1965. The region's surplus hardwood pulpwood resource offers the major opportunity for substituting local production for imports.
