Big expansion seen for lumber

By RAY WILLISTON

Minister of Lands, Forests

: and Water Resourees

The way world demand and
markets for wood products are
shaping up, it is more than pro-
bable that British Columbia’s
forest industry will become at
least a two-billion-dollar-a-year
business within the next seven
years,

And, as the industry expands,
we will see continuation of the
trend to integration of industrial

Bureau of Economies and Statis-
tics, based on the 10-year period
between 1965 and.1975, has re-
sulted in a foresast that the
roundiwood requirements of the
forest industry will have in
creased by 57 per cent to 2.4
billion cubic feet by the end of
the study period.

While the lumber industry will
continue t place the heaviest
demand on the forest resources,
the proportion of wood material
used by this sector will decline
while that of the other sectors
will increase, notably in the pulp
and paper, and veneer and ply-
wood industries. The percent.
age of growth of the sawmilling
industry in the 10-year period
is expected to be about 40 per
eent, while that of the pulp and
paper industry should be 154 per
cent, and that of the veneer and
plywood industries about 68 per
cent,

The sawmilling industry it-
self will continue on the pres-

ent trend towards fewer and lar- |-

ger mills at central locations,
producing an increasingly large
proportion of total lumber pro-
duction, This is the obvious
growth of a maturing forest
economy whichis steadily moving
towards a greater degree of in-

tegration and efficient forest re- |

The bureau anticipates B,C.
plywood production will reach a
1975 level of 2.6 billion square
feet (on a «inch basis) which
would be an increase of 60 per
cent in the 10-year period, The
annual peeler-log requirements
should he in the nelghkboorhocdof
170 million cubic feet, or 7 per
cent of the total forest industry
demand,

It is expected that-a very signi-
ficant portion of future veneer
and plywood production will come
from Interior mills as an integ-
rated forest economy replaces
the Interior’s traditional saw-
milling economy,
