Logging

NACE v2.0 Code: A02.20

About logging

NACE code 02.20, 'Logging', encompasses the production activities related to the harvesting and extraction of timber from natural or planted forests. This industry plays a vital role in the broader forestry and wood products sector, providing essential raw materials for a range of downstream industries. Logging operations are a crucial component of sustainable forest management, ensuring the responsible and renewable use of this natural resource.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the logging industry involve the felling, delimbing, bucking, and extraction of trees. Specialized machinery such as chainsaws, skidders, and harvesters are used to fell trees, remove branches, and cut the trunks into logs of desired lengths. The logs are then transported from the forest to processing facilities, often using trucks or specialized logging vehicles.

Production inputs

The logging industry relies on several key inputs, including standing timber in forests, fuel and lubricants for machinery, and skilled labor. Forestry equipment, such as felling machines, forwarders, and loaders, are also essential inputs for efficient and safe logging operations. Additionally, the industry requires access to transportation infrastructure, such as roads and railways, to move the harvested timber to downstream processing facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of the logging industry is raw, unprocessed timber in the form of logs. These logs are then consumed by other NACE industries, such as 16.10 Sawmilling and planing of wood, 16.21 Manufacture of veneer sheets and wood-based panels, and 16.23 Manufacture of other builders' carpentry and joinery. The logging industry also produces various by-products, such as wood chips and sawdust, which can be used as inputs for the production of pulp, paper, and other wood-based products.
