wood production

Lumber from trees

Wood production is the cultivation, harvesting, and processing of trees for timber, pulp, and other wood products.

The term encompasses forestry operations from planting through felling, as well as sawmill activities that convert logs into lumber.

Global wood production has increased despite deforestation concerns.

The region's economy depends heavily on wood production.
