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

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

3: "Self-sufficiency rate" = "Wood supply (Domestic Wood)" / "Wood for industrial use" ×100

4: Total figures may not agree with the sum of each item due to round off.

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

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

3: "Self-sufficiency rate" = "Domestic wood supply" for each category / "total" or "subtotal" for each category ×100

4: Figures in parentheses refer to the volume of pulp and chips from mill residue or construction waste, which are already included in the volume of sawnwood plywood, or others. Therefore, these figures are excluded from "total" and "subtotal".

5: Total figures may not agree with the sum of each item due to round off.
