Abstract

In 2005, industrial roundwood output from North Carolina's forests totaled 784 million cubic feet, 1 percent more than in 2003. Mill byproducts generated from primary manufacturers declined 3 percent to 306 million cubic feet. Almost all plant residues were used primarily for fuel and fiber products. Saw logs were the leading roundwood product at 400 million cubic feet; pulpwood ranked second at 274 million cubic feet; veneer logs were third at 60 million cubic feet. The number of primary processing plants declined from 235 in 2003 to 180 in 2005. Total receipts increased 9 million cubic feet to 751 million cubic feet.
