About logs of non-coniferous wood

cpc code 03120 covers the logging and harvesting of non-coniferous wood, which includes a wide range of hardwood species such as oak, maple, and birch. This industry plays a vital role in the global timber supply chain, providing raw materials for a diverse range of industries, from construction and furniture manufacturing to paper production and energy generation. The demand for non-coniferous wood products is driven by factors such as population growth, urbanization, and the increasing emphasis on sustainable and renewable resources.

Production process

The production of logs from non-coniferous wood typically involves a series of steps, including tree felling, delimbing, bucking, and transportation. Specialized machinery, such as chainsaws, skidders, and loaders, are used to efficiently harvest and process the timber. Sustainable forestry practices, such as selective cutting and replanting, are often employed to ensure the long-term viability of the resource.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the non-coniferous wood logging industry include the standing timber, which is the raw material for the production process. Additionally, the industry requires various types of machinery and equipment, such as chainsaws, skidders, and loaders, as well as fuel and maintenance supplies. Labor, transportation, and infrastructure, such as roads and logging camps, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the non-coniferous wood logging industry are logs, which are then consumed by a variety of downstream industries. These include the 03200 Sawmilling and planing of wood industry, which produces sawn timber and wood-based panels, as well as the 17110 Manufacture of pulp industry, which uses non-coniferous wood as a raw material for paper production. The logs may also be used for energy generation, either directly as firewood or indirectly through the production of wood pellets or other biofuels.
