6. Year Book on Forest Products

The production figures in the Yearbook were in higher than the revised figures supplied by the author. It seems most of the figures under the production were estimates for every year. Where data on the actual production was available has been supplied as the revised figure.

Most of the data on import and export quantities and values for wood products sawn wood was not available. Official government statistics combine all categorises of wood, wood based and wood related products. This obviously makes it impossible to know the quantity and value for each category. In those sections, there are many gaps because the author was not in the position of obtaining data or estimating the figures.

The author was unable to verify or comment on validity or accuracy of the current year book data related to exports and imports.
