Timber Supply and Product Demand Service We are now in our third year! We've restructured our publications to better accommodate our customers needs. Over the next 16 years, lumber, structural panels, and paper/paperboard producers will be operating in an environment that will become increasingly resource constrained as the diminishing North American softwood fiber supply forces companies to either restructure or exit the market. Knowing where and when these limiting factors will first emerge and the depth of their impact will provide invaluable assistance in strategic planning, operations management, and financial planning in the wood products industry. Our economic models for lumber, structural panels, paper and paperboard, stumpage, and operating profit levels are directly related to the actual timber supply by producing state. Only by tying the raw material base to the specific product outputs can accurate supply and demand equilibrium projections be made. In order to assist the wood products and financial community with a clear, unbiased view of these changes and their impact on the industry, Resource Economics offers a service of recurring publications entitled Timber Supply and Product Demand Service. |
