Abstract

This annual assessment of the pulpwood production and receipts for the 14 states in the Northeast Region shows that in 1983 total production reached 8,673,800 cords. This was up 3 percent (221,600 cords) from 1982. The roundwood portion increased by less than 1 percent to 6,330,000 cords, whereas the residue portion rose by 10 percent to 2,343,800 cord equivalents. The receipts of pulpwood at the 42 mills in the region set a new high of 9,253,700 cords consumed. This report is based on a canvass of all pulpmills that use roundwood or wood residue from the Northeast as a basic raw material for paper, insulation board, and hardboard products.
