Abstract

The South’s production of pulpwood decreased from 59.0 million cords in 2021 to 56.0 million cords in 2022. Roundwood production decreased by 2.7 million cords to 41.6 million cords and accounted for 74 percent of the South’s total pulpwood production. The use of wood residue decreased by 2 percent to 14.5 million cords in 2022. Alabama and Georgia led the South in total production, with 9.0 and 8.9 million cords, respectively. In 2022, 71 mills were operating and drawing wood from all 13 Southern States.
