Note 1: Figures in parentheses refer to the volume of pulp and chips from saw mill residue or construction waste, and the volume is included in that of saw wood or plywood or others. So it isn't included in total and subtotal.

2: Forest residue refers to the branches or roots left in forests which are carried into plants for the purpose of use.

3: Figures for the total may not agree with the sum of the each item due to the rounding-off in calculation.
