Book Description
S2Although imports of most hardwood products have varied since 1970 with no absolute trend, imports of hardwood plywood have decreased while imports of wood furniture have increased dramatically. The decrease in plywood imports stems from the substitution of sheetrock for plywood in mobile home construction, and the substitution of domestically produced composite products for imported hardwood in the production of prefinished paneling. Increased imports of wood furniture, primarily from Taiwan, resulted from the lower cost work force augmented by the rigid exchange rate between U.S. and Taiwanese dollars. Imports of hardwood lumber, logs, and veneer have fluctuated in both volume and country of origin. These fluctuations are related to the relative strength of the domestic furniture industry and policy developments in exporting countries. S3

Book Description
S2Between 1970 and 1986, hardwood log exports increased by 102 percent, hardwood lumber exports by 329 percent, hardwood veneer exports by 442 percent, and hardwood plywood exports by 61 1 percent. Much of this increase has been for white and red oak products in the European and Asian markets. The factors influencing these increases include increased cost of tropical and European hardwood products, rapid growth in European and Asian economies, and an emerging furniture industry in Taiwan. Given the ample supplies of temperate hardwood timber in the United States relative to the rest of the world, continued demand for U.S. hardwood products seems likely. However, the increase in this demand will be contingent on the value of the dollar against European and Asian currencies, growth in foreign economies, furniture production technology, and foreign consumer acceptance of substitute materials.S3.
