Foreign Agricultural Service – Forestry

The US Department of Agriculture has a commodity based export office know as the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS).  The FAS collects export data on Wood Products and other products exported from the US.  There are 32 different Forest Products Groups and many more Forest Products Subgroups that the FAS tracks.  The subgroups are broken down into all types of hardwood and softwood products, flooring, veneers, plywood, molding, poles, railroad ties, pulpwood and etc.

Wood Product markets were down in 2008 from 2007, but there are some Wood Product Subgroups that went up in 2009.  Perhaps there is a Wood Products Exporter in your area that needs the type of timber that you are harvesting. The FAS should be able to help you find the Wood Product Export market that you need to make additional logging company profits!
