Note 1: "Wood supply/demand" refers to sum of roundwood and imported products (sawnwood, plywood, and pulp and chips) in log equivalent.

2: "Self-sufficiency rate" = "Domestic Wood Supply" / "Imported Wood Supply" ×100

3: "Others" refers to items such as glulam, worked wood, sleeper, utility pole, pile wood and scaffolding wood.

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

Note 1: "Wood supply/demand" refers to sum of roundwood and imported products (saw wood, plywood, and pulp and chips) in log equivalent.

2: "Self-sufficiency rate(%)" = "Domestic Wood Supply" / "Total Wood Supply" ×100

3: "Others" refers to items such as glulam, worked wood, sleeper, utility pole, pile wood and scaffolding wood.

4: 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.

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