Forest Products from Latin America. Annotated Bibliography of ...

Mexico: Departamento de Economia Forestal, Direccion
General de Investigacion y Capacitacion Forestales. Ciencia
Forestal. 3(11):41-50.
Describes consumption, production, import, and export of
forest products by Mexico in 1971 to 1976 with statistics.
The main trends during the period are discussed.
Anon. 1978. Future availability of raw material from the
forests, 1978-1987. Region VIII including Malleco (Disponi-
bilidad futura de materia prima forestal, periodo 1978-
1987. VIII Region incluyendo Malleco). Chile Forestal.
4( 37): 16.
Predicts the types and quantities of forest products that
should become available in this region of Chile and the ad-
joining Malleco province in the ensuing ten year period.
Anon. 1978. Pinus radiata on the world market (El pino
insigne en el mercado mundial). Chile Forestal. 4(39):8.
Describes recent exports of Pinus radiata round timber to
Korea and southern Japan, and sawn timber to the Arab
countries, from Chile, which have increased. Data are
shown for the prices of pulpwood and roundwood and lum-
ber from various parts of the world from 1970 to 1977. The
data are used to predict the profit margins that should be
obtainable by the producer in Chile.
Anon. 1980. Processing high density tropical wood
(Procesamiento de maderas tropicales de alta densidad).
In: Proceedings of an International Union of Forestry Re-
search organizations (IUFRO) meeting, Laboratorio Na-
cional de Productos Forestales; 1977 October 2-9; Merida,
Venezuela. 441 p.
Proceedings containing 29 papers on the processing of high
density tropical woods.
Anon. 1981. Aspects of the production and processing
of tropical hardwoods in countries of origin. In: Annual
report, The Netherlands Investmentbank for Developing
Countries: 22-30.
Discusses supply and demand for tropical woods in the
world market, the present situation and possible future de-
velopments, and obstacles to development of increased local
processing in developing countries.
Anon. 1982. Brazilian forestry in the year 2000: strategic
directions for the forestry sector in Brazil (Brasil Flore-
stal, ano 2000: diretrizes estrategicas para o setor florestal
brasiliero) . Brasil Florestal. 12(50):7-33.
Describes the outlook of the Group for Strategic Plan-
ning in Forestry in Brazil. The group, formed in 1981, is
composed of both industrial and academic organizations.
Planning for the year 2000, discussions include government
forestry structure, regional development for the northeast
Amazon area, increased production and profitability, refor-
estation, nature protection, public relations, ensuring the
supply of timber, marketing, forestry professionalism, and
other subjects. Some data are presented on timber volume,
types of timber available, reforestation requirements, and
new employment expected.
Anon. 1983. Availability and costs of logs from selected
forest regions of Europe and North and South America
(Verfugbarkeit und Kosten von Rundholz in ausgewahlten
Waldregionen Europas, Nord- und Sudamerikas). Allge-
meine Forstzeitschrift. 43: 1169-1 170.
Summarizes parts of a report by the Jaakko-Poyry Group.
Standing timber volumes, log prices, and other factors from
three countries are shown, and estimates of these up to the
year 1990 are given. The estimate for the southern USA
indicates an adequate log supply, but higher costs for pine
logs, felling, and transport. For Brazil the estimate is for
an adequate log supply, increasing labor costs, and stable
prices for standing timber. For Finland, the estimate in-
dicates some restriction on timber supply, but no major
changes in costs.
Anon. 1984. Radiata pine supplies and options for indus-
trial expansion. Chilean Forestry News. 83:2-4.
Describes a study of Chilean forestry expansion from 1985
to 2004. Two models are presented: one showing a four
fold increase in processing capacity and doubling of forest
area, and a second showing minimal expansion and com-
plete use of existing forest area only.
