Abstract

In 2009, volume of industrial roundwood output from Florida’s forests totaled 474.6 million cubic feet, 3 percent less than in 2007. Mill byproducts generated from primary manufacturers declined to 117.1 million cubic feet. Almost all plant residues were used primarily for fuel and fiber products. Pulpwood was the leading roundwood product at 265.2 million cubic feet; saw logs ranked second at 119.6 million cubic feet; other industrial products were third at 44.4 million cubic feet. Total receipts were relatively stable at 505.4 million cubic feet. The number of primary processing plants totaled 59 in 2009 compared to 69 in 2007.
