West Coast's log, lumber exports increase in second quarter of 2009
By USDA Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station
A total of 239.5 million board feet of softwood logs and 80.2 million board feet of softwood lumber was exported from Washington, Oregon, northern California, and Alaska in April, May, and June of this year, according to the U.S. Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Research Station.
Log exports for the second quarter of 2009 from Oregon and Washington totaled 189.5 million board feet, up 38.6 percent from the first quarter volume of 136.7 million board feet.
-As these exports increase, there will be less raw materials for domestic production of lumber, plywood, OSB, doors and windows. This could result in material shortages for lumber & building material producers, builidng material suppliers and builders.
