Abstract
In 2001, industrial roundwood output from Georgia's forests totaled 1.12 billion cubic feet, 10 percent less than in 1999. Mill byproducts generated from primary manufacturers declined 7 percent to 439 million cubic feet. Almost all plant residues were used primarily for fuel and fiber products. Pulpwood was the leading roundwood product at 501 million cubic feet; saw logs ranked second at 485 million cubic feet; veneer logs were third at 73 million cubic feet. The number of primary processing plants declined from 188 in 1999 to 170 in 2001. Total receipts declined 7 percent to 1.17 billion cubic feet.
