” Herald Staft Writer

_ VICTORIA — B.C.’s forest industry is the focus of much ;
” provincial study recently,

, Just completed-under an IDSA grant isa 183-page atudy
called “The Potenttal- in Japan for Remanufactured Wood

Products from British Columbia.” .

}
: The most likely products to succeed, according to this

! atudy, are Japanese-alyle rafters; various-sized mouldings,

finger-jointed stock and interior panelling in both clear and

2 knotty. grades. The study aimed at: products that could be 5
‘ used in the traditional Japanese-designed homes, ;

- The $48,400 study, shared 50-50 with the federal govern-
ment, estimates that the valued added potential for these
products could be as high as $35 million per year and could
mean: 500 direct and 125 indirect new jobs. The study also
recommended that.a marketing. and. sales committee be

-_ established to promote B.C. remanufactured wood products
in Japan, Action on that is already under way according to
Don. Phillips, minister of industry and small business

development. :
The. ministry of forests says it ts beginning its second

. major | survey and analysis of the province’ B -forest and
“rahge resources. This study will be used ‘to “‘chart the
* course of B.C.’s forestry programs. into the mid-1990's,""

The ministry says the project ‘‘will.assess the extent,

; quality, condition and value of all our forest, both Crown-

owned and privately-awned, and show that timber is con-

sidered economically recoverable, It. will ‘algo summarize
demands for taking land out of forest production and pul- -

; ting it to. 6ther uses, and it will examine possible trade-offs.
