Astudy to find out how better quality trade information can be supplied to the forestry industry has been commissioned by the UK Forest Products Association, the Forestry Commission and Scottish Enterprise.
The study is to be carried out by the BioComposites Centre in conjunction with the School for Agriculture and Forest Sciences at the University of Wales.
Industry associations and businesses will be asked about data needs, and the actual and potential availability of data in the wood chain. The study will cover timber growers, forest and haulage contractors, wood and fibre processors and the wider timber trade.
