Abstract

In 2005, industrial roundwood output from Mississippi's forests totaled 1.03 billion cubic feet, 11 percent more than in 2002. Mill byproducts generated from primary manufacturers decreased 1 percent to 385 million cubic feet. Almost all plant residues were used primarily for fuel and fiber products. Saw logs were the leading roundwood product at 543 million cubic feet; pulpwood ranked second at 366 million cubic feet; veneer logs were third at 78 million cubic feet. The number of primary processing plants remained at 116 in 2005. Total receipts increased 2 percent to 908 million cubic feet.
