INTRODUCTuHY HL:..All.KS

The preS€I:t study "The N.arketing of Tropical Wood: Wood Species from South Anlerir:!:!.n Tropical J:01St F'Qrests" is the second special ,£t'AU study in the field of trop­ical Llr:,bt.' marj<eting. The first study dealing wi tll wood species from African moist forects was issued and reprinted hice in 1973, and appeared in an expa.1ded and up­dated version early in lj76.

In tt.e senes 01 publications on "The Ularketirlg of Tropical Wood" 8. variety of sub~ects will be covered which are related to FAO's development work in this field. A third paper is at present under preparetion, dealing with Southeast ASlan wood spec16s. SincE' tbe san.t; appruach methodology and reference year have been, and are being llSt:!d throughout tLese st.udies, it will he possible to arrive in due course at an inteneglonal compr.ri£on and evaluation of all data, particularly of those presented in the Appendices.

The pl'irr,ary pUl'post: of the present study is to provide information to all those concerned Wl th plarlnlflg a.nd carrying out forest surveys and inventories; industrial feaslbili t.y l'l.I:d market studies; tropical t.imber testing, research, development and pro­motion 'l/ork on tl:e natlonal and regional lFJvel. It also provides basic information for practlcal narketinf, trade development &ld market promotion work. Useful information might alAo be e}:t.racted from H.e study by forest Dlanagement experts and silvicultur­ists who are concern~d Wl th illMting, and forest regeneration work in general.

';'he ArPen(:lcfl~~ of thlB study were preoented in the form of a background document to the 1''N~'~fth SesS10r. (,;' tile Latin American 1<'orestr,y Commission, held in Havana, Cuba 2-7 rebrua.ry l~(16. ~'rL!rr, its report, page 4, para. 28 we quote: "There was commenda­tion for tLe effort~ rnalje by the Forestry Department of ~'AO to study the problems and potent1al or fore(.t species that had not yet gained the desired acceptance on markets, lind 1 twas recomr.lended that efforts in this direction be intensified in the second s t al!e 0 l' the stu G.y • It

Statlsticel d~ta for production and trade for the basic reference year 1973 were incomplete aud in several case~ 1971 or 197 2 data had to be used instead in order to show the distributlon of wood species. In a few cases where gaps in regular country statlstics occurred, ave.i1ahle unpubllshed materlal was used. For veneer and plywood, data by wood epecles ~r~ not availatle. Both products are fully considered in Chap­ters 1 and 6, hut hecause of l~ck of data are excluded from the detailed considerations 1n Ch~pterB 2 t.o 5. In Vlew of th~ above remarks the respective data should only be considered at:; provisional to be illiproved and expanded in due course.

I t would have been most desll'able to include local marketing aspects in this study, but data are either not availahle, or are insufficient to support similarly detailed consldere.tioIlf'l. ,'/nt;nf:Jver possible 8lId appropriate, aspects related to domestic mar­kets have beeu 1ncluded.

The special stud.y has been prepared by T. Erfurth, }'orest Products Marketing Offic er, r'ores t ry Departmen t of FAO, and H. Rusche, f'orestry Officer recrui ted by FAO under tha ASSociate .t:xpert Scheme of the l"ederal Republic of Germany, who also travel­led in the area under consideration for the collection of information.

The authors, on behalf of ~'AO, express their gratitude to government forest ser­vices, forest products research institutes, tropical forest products industries and trade fams and associations which have contributed to the study through information and advice.

SUu.MA.HY

1973 was selected as the basic reference year for this study since at that time the impact of the recession on wood supply and marketing patterns had not yet been felt. During this year log production in South American tropical forests reached 10.8 million m3 which were harvested allllost entirely in the moist tropical forests of Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Surinam, French Guiana and in the Brazilian Amazon area.

Forest products exports from these eight countries at tained in 1973 a total value of USU93 million 8lld remained substantially below the level of other tropical wood e~porting regions. Sawnwood, with 862 000 III 3 , was the largest single item, followed by loge - 461 000 m3, veneer 73 000 m3 and plywood 58 000 1113. Only 4 per cent of the total saw- and veneer log supplies were exported, and lIIore than 10 million m3 were converted locally into wood products, most of whioh were absorbed by domestic markets.

The stud3 analyses production and trade of the above nine countrles by species. All wood specios produced in quantities above 1 000 m3 per year are arbitrarily de­fined as commerCial, all other species as "lesser-used" provided that they are produc­ed in quantities below 1 000 m3 or, if not used commercially, have been identified - through an evaluation system specifically designed for this purpose - as having potential for use in the form of sawnwood, veneer and plywood.

The varying heterogenei ty of species composi tior. in these forests entails unfavour­able diversifications in wood properties. So far about 210 different wood species are cODlIliercialized under 125 trade names, and another 263 wood speoies are more or less known to the trade. While ma.n,y commerCial wood species are reported to be found widely distributed over the area, none of the 210 commercial species is produced in all nine countries. In fact, most of the wood speoies are commercialized only in one or two countries, and are either not or only little used in the other countries. Prefer­ences for wood species m~ var,y considerably from countr,y to country, and often frolll mill to mill.

Medl UIIl densi ty timbers Ille.d.e up for 65 per cent of the total saw- and veneer log production. Vl~OLA alone accounted for 24 per cent, followed by CAOBA-Mahogany, one of the finest veneer and joiner,y timbers which only reached 6 per cent, followed by CEDRU - 3.8 per cent - and ANDIRUEA 3.2 per cent. Low &ld medium density timbers to­gether add up to 79 per cent and consequently the upper and high density specles only account for 21 per cent of the total log production. This pattern of utilization is adverse to the actual wood density distribution in the forests, where the average den­eity specific weight lies substantially higher.

An analya1s of the market acceptance of commercial timbers based on property groups and value classes reveals that qualities and related va.lues are not differenti­ated in the same measure as, for instance, in the case of African tropical woods. In view of this it is assumed that the potential of the forests in the wider Amazon basin has still to be fully appraised, not only from the quantitative, but also from the quali tati ve point of view. Efforts aiDled at expanding the marketable wood base com­prlse the possibilities of (i) optimiZing wood values, (ii) grouping of wood speCies, and (iii) the promotion of mixed s~ecies for integrated industrial usa, whioh implies that combined aotion with (1) and tU) is possible and often necessary.

Y~owledge of the properties, uses anc marketing of wood species is an essential basis for the various planning and management activities related to investments in the tropical forestry and forest industries sBctor. Details need to be defined for each particular area selected for development, since local resource and market conditions as well as possibilities for export trade may var,y considerably. For the support of this work, the present study provides guidanoe and pertinent information. It i8 res­trioted to mechanical wood products.

The following points are singled out for special considerationa

(i) in resource and preinvestment surveys attention should be given to oommercial and lesser-used species alike, and to problems related to provenanoe, market acceptance and promotion, wood values and uae classification - with the overall objeotive of improving forest utilization;

(ii) the evaluation of use properties (Chapters 4 and 5) point at the need to support fUrther researoh and data oollection activities aimed at claritying the use potential of lesser-used wood species as a basio requirement for the promotion of individual or groups of wood speoies and their products, and to establishing oommon oriteria for grouping to be based on internationally oomparable standards for the use properties of lesser-used speoiesl

(iii) grading rules play a oentral role 1n product and market development. Average density of wood in tropioal forests is substantially higher th$n in temperate forests. Therefore increased efforts ahould be made to develop new or adopt existing teohn1ques allowing in parti­oular the use of tropioal hardwoods in housing and construction, in order to direotly improve domestic aooio-economic conditions. Orading rules and standards might mOre usefully be developed in olo~e relation with other regional and international initiatives with a view to harmonizing efforts;

(iv) wood p~eservation whenever appropriate should be part of the overall oonoept for industr,y and marketing planning in tropical forest oountries, and reoeive suitable teohnical support by timber research and develop­ment inst1tutionsl also,

(v) wood seasoning is an efficient tool for marketing development particularly of processed sawnwood and in this context it is suggested to use a system approaoh in individual oase studies demonstrating how to optimize the teohno-eoonomic complexl

contraot stipulations - wood produot standards - dimensional aoouracy and tolerances - moisture content ~ impermeable and invulnerable packaging - possible shipping in containers -constant quality - direot and immediate application by consumer.

1. South Amerioan tropioal forest produots in world production and trade

World trade of forest produots slightly more than doubled between the years 1961 to 1970. It expanded remarkably quickly between the years 1970 to 1973, when an in­ore .. e of 78 per cent was registered. Over these thirteen years the relative growth of torest produote exports from developing countries was notably above the world average, althoUBh the bulk of this growth must be attributed to unprooessed wood in the form of logs. Between 1973 and 1974, i.e. at tbe beginning of the recent world­wide reoe.lion, total world trade of forest produots continued to rise from US'22 360 million to US, 29 078 million, or by 30 per oent in one Bingle year. Taking into aooount tbe inflationary impact and the rather aocentuated increales of torest pro­ducts price. during tbis period, the rise in total export value m~ appear les8 speo­tacular than it iB. However, the negative tact remains that the value of forest pro­ducts exports trom developing oountries virtually stagnated, implying that trade volumes - for whioh data were not available at the time of writing thia paper - bad already declined during 1974 because of the recession which started to make itselt fel t strongly during the aecond half of 1974. This consideration served as a basis in selecting 1973 in the present etudy as a reference year, rather than the following years 1974 or 1975. It oan be assumed that the depresaed market conditions during the latter two years would not reflect a "close to average" marketing and utilization pattern of tro~ical woode.

In the global picture of world trade the position of forest products exports from all developing countries emerges, generally speaking, rather favourably. In 1973, their forest products exports amounted to a total value of US, 3 598, or 16 per cent of the world total, and thus are lix per cent bigher than exports from the centrally planned economies, which amounted to usa 2 237 million. Forest products exports from developing countries appear to be rather modest with regard to exports from the de­veloped market eoono~ oountries, which accounted during the same year for 74 per cent of the total world exports of torest produots, a large portion of which oonsists of pulp and paper.

Within the three major tropioal timber exporting regions the first posit1on -both in growth and .ize - 11 taken by last Asian developing countries with exports of 0512 420 million in 1973, whioh made up for two-thirds of the total tropioal log and wood produots export ••

The forest products exports of the nine South American countries under review in thj s 8 tudv ~oun ted in 1,73 to US319.3 milli on and thus accounted for 49 per cent of the total for~gt products exports from Latin America. Although the tropical moist forests of South A.7<erica represent an area of almost 7 million square kilometers, or about 25 per cent of the total forest cover of the world. its contribution to world trade in 1973 r6111ainerl bttlow 1 per cent. It appears that South American tropical moist forests are less well-endowed with resources of commercial woodS, and oonditione compare less favourably with those of Southeast Asia and tropical Africa. Another reason for the little importance South American tropical woods have on world markets is the relatively high local consumption, BS is evident from Table 3.

The spectacular growth of forest products exports from developing countries has to be attributed in the first place to log exports whioh in 1973 accounted for 61 per cent of the world total &s shown in Table 2. In this context it must be noted that the logs and sawnwood produced in, and subsequently exported from, tropical countries are almost exclUSively broadleaved species. Exports of broadleaved log. and sawnwood during the same year accounted for 93 and 57 per cent respeotively. It is also inter­esting to note that developing countries'exporte of veneer and plywood had reached 50 per cent and 43 per cent of the respective world total in 1973. The share of the moist tropical South American region in the world total of the respective exports W&S very low indeed' 1 per cent for broadleaved log., 6 per cent for broadleav.d sawnwood, 6 per cent for veneer, and 1 per cent for plywood

The contribution of the above moist tropioal South American region to world trade of forest produots varies considerablY from country to co~tr,y as doel the share ot exports in domestic produotion. Generally speaking, saw- and veneer log exports from tropioal South !merida has not been and i. not expeoted to become important. In 1973, aocording to Table 3, onlY 4 per cent ot ita production was exported in log form.

Exports of logs from Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela are either very small or non-existent. Log exports from Colombia accounted for 1 per cent and those of Surinam for 5 per cent of the log production. Only from the Brazilian Amazon, O~ana and French GUiana log exports exceeded 10 per cent of log production and amounted to 11, 15 and 26 per cent respectively. The bulk of tropical timber ie produced in and exported from Eaet Asian developing countries which make up for 67 per cent of the log produotion and 82 per cent of the log exports of the three regions "'hereae the share of moist tropical South America in log production and log exports accounted for 9 and 1 per cent respectively.

Before going into the detailed analysis of tropical South American wood species it seems appropriate to examine more closely the main features of log production be­tween tropical South America and the two other principal tropical forest areas South­east Aeia and tropical Africa. Ten of the most important commercial wooda were select­ed and are presented in Table 4 to illustrate the relianoe of log produotion of the three regions on only a r~latively few species. Furthermore, it is interesting to note - and reference is made to this grouping of species in the following chapters - that the ten Southeast Asian commercial woods mentioned in Table 4 comprise more than 150 individual wood species belonging to 11 different genera. On the other band, the 10 most important South American tropical timbers are made up of 18 wood species which are related to 9 genera. It is Dot the intention of this study to analyse Table 4, as this oan only be done after the studies of all three regions have been finished. But those who are interested in the present study on moist tropical South American wooda will find it useful at this et~e to obtain this brief information for comparative purposes.

2. Ooourrenoe and proTenanoe of wood Bpecies

The moat signifioant feature of the tropical moist forest is the heterogeneity of its botanical composition. This is particularly valid ~r the South American tropical moiet foreets aB the multiplicity of species is extremely accentuated.

Variations of the tropical moiBt forest type are tbe riparian and swamp forest near tbe main river. and the sea ooast especially Buitable for water logging. Tbe .emi-deoiduous tor •• tB occurring in areas with a pronounoed dry period during the year should also be mentioned. Th8se latter forest types show a less lUXuriant vege­tation oover. However, restricted ecological conditions show the adaptation of speci­tic tree species resulting in a more gregarious growth and con.equently higher volumes per specie. per ha whioh often made tbem more interesting trom an economic point ot view. In several cowltrieB in the region these swamp and riparian forests are even more important than the rain forost proper.

Detailed info~ation on its composition and utilization are not yet available for many parts of the South American tropical forests. However, the following general conclueions m~ be drawn from experience and the data so far obtained.

11)

v)

the number of tree species growing on a given forest area is bigh, but a major portion, two-thirds or more, of the standing volume is formed by 30 to 50 species only, out of which few species may be considered as dominantl

there are considerable variations from place to place in the botanical oomposi tion of the rain forest. These local variations entail diversi­ficationB in wood properties which have a particularly unfavourable impact on util1~ationl

the growing stock m~ vary between 100-270 m3/ha;

uncontrolled activities have often ohanged natural vegetation patterne. ~ conSiderable portion yet to be defined of the original forest cover has been degraded through shifting cultivation and other uncontrolled activities;

the volume of commercial wood removed from natural forests m~ in a few cases exceed 40 m3/ha, but ranges normally between 5 and 20 m3/ba;

there are about 470 wood 8peoies whioh are more or lees known to the tradel of which about 210 are regularl¥ used in appreciable quantities, and about 260 species which are less used.

It is tbe last point (vi) whioh is the core of consideration in thiB 8tUdy. This po1nt i8 turther 8ubstantiated in Appendix I whioh shows - under ~ - the name8 and occurrenoe ot 210 wood speciee &8 extracted trom the 1971/73 produotion statist­ic. of Brazil (1mazon), Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, G~ana, Surinam, and French Guiana, which are largely representative of the tropical rain toresta in South imeriea. ~ turther 263 epeoies were added - under B - after detailed 8creening ot 8pecialized literature. The technioal and Qommeroial aspecta related to thi8 grouping are di80ussed in the following chapter8.

For each ot the 473 species enumerated in ~ppend1x I the occurrence in a parti­cular country is indicated by what appeared to be the m08t familiar of the vernacular name. u.ed in -the oountr,r. Broader indications in the literature on the ocourrence ot 1ndividual speoies reterring to ranges and regions etc., .ere neglected. While this i. a sate approach to avoid the introduotion ot unde.irable general1&ation8, the resulting ind1oations m~ be somewhat inoomplete. Addit10ns regarding the occurrenoe ot ind1vidual species will be made as and when detailed information become. avail­able.

Amazone Region are generally not known. However, 80me countries have made investiga­tions for a few commeroial timbers such as VlBOL! (192-198), C!OBA (175), CEDRO (48-49~ BALSA (122) and GREENHEART (131). This means that in casee where resource surveys are carr1e~ r ~ in hitherto untouohed areas, species m~ oocur which originally had not been expected in the area (.ee above points (i) and (ii)). Therefore, the inventory specialist may find it appropriate to study the botanical and other pertinent oharac­teristics of oommercial speoies before starting specitic surveys.

No attempt is made in this study to relate countr,y data on torest production with those on ocourrenoe. Tbe resulting information would have been ot some use but not tully conclusive because ot the laCK of quantitative resource data. However, compari­.ons of OCcurrenoe and trade are pOSSible, based on data contained in Appendices I, III IV and V. Comparisons could disclose discrepancies showing for instance the occurr­ence of a speoifio speoies in a particular countr,y where there is no indioation of produotion or trade. One reaBon for negleoting suoh speoies may be quality problems related to provenanoe. Other reasons cculd be insufficient supplies or under-utiliza­tion of resource. in a given area.

Provenance is indeed for several apecie. a signifioant factor for oommeroial acceptance, but specific information or knowledge qy speoies and oountries is acaroe. Some information indioates that for low and mediwm density wood species which occur in the "terra :firm. foreats" as well as in the "ve.r~.a torests" along the rivers of the wider Amazon region species of the "varzea toresta" show slightly inferior qual1 ty and lower density than those of the "terra tirme torests". However this phenomenon haa not been confirmed a5 yet and further specifio investigation. are needed. Problema arise no~ally only in relation to the decorative value of the veneer surtace and are generally less accentuated with regard to .awnwood. However, in the context of this .tudy, it is necessary to draw attention to the existence of possible quality ditter­encea in wood species from various provenance.. This aspect sbould not be neglected in torest surveys and preinvestment studies.

It is only natural that oommeroial wood species are better known than tho.e .pe­cies which as yet have only been partly or not at all introduced into trade. This fact is olearly demonstrated in Appendix I through a oomparison of part A with part B. The variou. oolumns in part A reveal a more compact pe.ttern than the distribution in part B where empty spaces oCour between the vernacular names. In several oases indi­vidual wood species under B m~ in fact occur less frequently than under A, but the prevailing "empty space" pattern under B suggests that knowledge on oocurrence of speoies i8 generally muoh smaller.

Knowledge is also restricted with regard to properties, characteristics and other technioal information, which is dealt with in Chapter. 4 and 5 in more detail. How­ever, in order to get an impression of the .peeies mix and the requirements tor log conversion into lawnwood and veneer, the tollowing results of • survey made by Hallewa. et al in 1966 in the mature fore.t ot Caxuana (!mazon) might be taken as an example, but not applied in general.

3. The performanoe of wood species in production and trade

In this study considerations of the commercial performance of wood species are baaed on statistical information obtained from nine South American countries in the Ambzon forest area. TheBe countries are Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador Colombia Venezuela, OyYana, Surinam and Frenoh Guiana. Their production and exp~rt statistics for the period between 1971 and 1973 reveal the names of 125 commercial timberl but rather incomplete indications of the quantities exported. The ten most import~t tim­bert of each country are lummarized in Table 5, and further specified in !ppendioes I to V. The item "unspecified" IWllDlarize8 wood species whioh are only produoed in vel'1 emall quantitiee.

For the purpose of this study the term "commercial" ie used for timbers with pro­duction or exports exoeeding 1000 m3/year. The term "leuer-used" is applied to all thos. species which are either not used at all, or only in quantities up to 1000 mJ annually, or exported. Chapter 5 deale specifically with lesser-used speciet.

One wood speoies - VIROL! (192-198) - accounted for 24 per cent of the aggregate eaw- and veneer log production and 37 per cent of the total exports in the period from 1971 to 1973. The first ten commercial woods includin~ VIROL! (192-198), C!OB! (175), CEDRO (48 49), i!LS! (122), !NDIROB! (36,37), S!JO (35), LOURO INHAMUY (125), S!QUI­S!QUI (24~, EUCALIPTO (88), and GREENHE!RT (131), accounted for 50 per cent of the saw­and veneer log production, and 68 per cent of the exports.

The above term Itco~ercial" - particularly when applied to speoies produced in quantities above 10 000 mJ/year - is by no meane an indication of the potential for in­dividual speCies, but an indication of their present and past position on the market. However, it leeme reasonable to assume that a particular wood speciss which haa been exported in quantities above 1000 m3, or even 10 000 m3 per year as lawn and/or round­wood, Mhculd be suffioiently well known to both industr,y and trade to exclude doubts as to itl future suitability - at least for the purposes it hal been used for so far. Moreover, it should be possible - provided the parties conoerned agree to collaborate -to derive luffioient experienoe from the use of quantities above 1000 m3 per year and to indioate more clearly what the prospects for an individual species on a given market might be. Suob inveltigations might, however, become somewhat oomplex and diffioult if the exports of the speoies concern~d are soattered over several receiving oountries and various end-users.

Tbe grouping of "coIllllleroial" speoies into quanti ties (a) above 10 000 m3/year, and (b) from 1000 to 10 000 m3/year - useful &8 it m~ be for the purpose cf this Itudy -throws up a further consideration related to the "market oeiling" of individual Ipecisa. !lthough realizing the hypothetical nature of market ceilingo, which cannot be .. sessed in quantitative terms, it is useful to refer to it in thil ocntext in order to illust­rate the Ilight reservation with regard to the above grouping. For utility timbere the market oeiling on a given market is much higher than for decorative veneer qualities. For example, the market oeiling for SUCUPIR! (72,73) - a reasonably well-known medium value and decorative wood Ipecies - il probably muoh lower than for PElIEMONO (12-14) whioh i8 a relatively little known utility type wood speoies. Both were produoed in 1971-73 in similar quantities.

The exohange cf information il of great importance for promoting the market aooeptance of South American tropioal woods. Many wood lpeoies oocur in all nine ooun­tries, but most Ipeoiel are produoed and made use of only in a few. Most of the tim­bers - 83 per oent - are produoed in commercial quantities in only One or two oountries and are liller-used wood Ipeeiea, or non-exiltent, in the remaining oountries. lot one single speciel is produoed in all nine countries. !nother interesting alpeot il that mOlt of the oountriel involved in thil study have different preferences for oommeroial timbers, and that the ten most important timbers in eaoh oountr,y acoount for 73 to 97 per oent of the total law- and veneer log production as shown in Table 5.

de toro l196,1157) which is also used in Bolivia for Virola sp. (192). In OU¥ana, Surin&m and Frenoh Guiana only speoies of Virola spp. are grouped together under the trade names Dalli (195-197), Baboen (195-197) and Yayamadou (192,196,197) respectively.

Tha compilations of Table 6 show that ~ri8tioaceae timbers do not always have the same use propertieB, and the existing gaps indicate that in eOIDe cases use proper­ties still need to be determined. Similar inoonsistencies and information gaps seem to exist also in other grouping practices, i.e. Sapoteceae under ABIURANA (114,157-160) in Brazil, Burseraoeae under ANlME (64,65,163) in Eouador and Lauraceae in nearly all oountries concerned. These groups therefore appear to be more the result of local s~las pract~ce8 than of the application of sound technical criteria based on s~milari­ty of use properties. Another point which has also caused some uncertainty in both domestic ~ld export markets is the selling of lesser-used wood speoies under the name of a similar commercial timber, instead of promoting these lesser-used speoies with a view to establishing their own market on the merits of their cwn properties.

However, as long as no more detailed and comprehensive information on the use propsrties by wood species i8 available, grouping practioes are likely to be based more on general appearanoe and market oustoms than on well-definsd criteria which must still be established. In this context it is emphasized that detailed studies should be carried out to olarifY the market potential of species or groups of species. Such de­tailed information would be needed to support speoific preinveatment studies, but in order to be meaningful, market studies must be oomplemented ~ appropriate resourse data.

4. Evaluation of u.e properties and oommeroial aooeptanoe

The description of properties in the speoialized literature is sometimes incom­plete and ~ata are often incomparable. Under these circumstances it i. rather diffi­oult to conduct a detailed analysis of wood properties, which i8 aimed at comparabili­ty. However, a certain degree of comparability oan be achieved by e8tablishing groups of properties and by using a si~ple olaesification system. This approach still im­plies that the specialized literature needs to be reviewed and scrutinized oarefully, only the results are presented in a summar,y fashion. Appendix II summarizes use pro­perties for 210 commercial and 263 lesser-used speoies for which a simple use clas8i­fication into A - good, B - medium, and C - bad i8 used. The 210 commeroial wood species as is apparent from Appendix III, are partly grouped, and result in l251~ommer­cial timber8".

The following appraisal of commercial acceptance of these commercial timbers em­ploys data extraoted from Appendice8 II to VI on use properties, wood values, and indioations on production and trade. The appraisal i8 based on density grouping because of the general significance of density for the U8es of wood. However, there are a few problems I the two genera (6~Croton epp. - DRAGO - and (88) Euoalyptus 8pp. - EUCALIPTO - could not be grouped within this pattern due to the great density varia­tion among the various speoies of the respective genus. Another problem arises when classifying use properties beoause of the oonsiderably high number of commercial species for Which no, or ver,y little basic technioal information is available. More­over there are 18 timbers whicb are not yet botanically speCified. Accordingly only 89 commercial wood species - les8 tban one-half - have complete records on all U8e properties and only these species could be fully evaluated.

Tbe analysis of the 125 commerCial timbers revealed tbat tbe following gaps exi8t for the respective use propertiesl •

Density for 2 commercial timbers Workability for 19

,. "

Shrinkage for 36 ,.

" FiniBhing for 25

,. "

Strength for 43 " " Durabili ty for 22 "

,. Logform for 15 " "

From this ennumera~ion it is ~pparent that the greateat gap in information oco~ra for strengtb and shrinkage proper~ies, with 35 per oent and 29 per cent resfectively, followed b,y finishing (20 per cent), durability (18 per cent), workability l15 per oent) and log form (12 per cen~). The information on den8ity i. fairly complete. Of cour.e, for Bo~e of the more frequently occurring wood speoiea, in partioular, it seema advisable to atudy density in relation to provenanoe., and possibly to sites. In some oa.e8 it might be neces8ar,y to 8iudy variations of density wiihin individual trees for determining the technical suitability of difficult apecies.

The low denaity wood apeoies acoounted in 1911/13 for 14 per oent of the total 8aw- and veneer log produotion and 4 per oent of log exports, inoluding the roundwood equivalent of sawn.ood exports. The speoie8 generally ahow good workability and finiabing properties, good to medium log form and ahrinkage propertie., medium to low strength properties and low durability. However, it should be noted that the dura­bility of moet of the low density timbers oan e .. ily be improved through pre8ervation with the exception of CEDRO ROJO (41) whioh oould not be treated ~ means ot the diffu8ion prooe.s and with creosote, acoording to test reaults 80 tar available.

Most light apecies are utility wood8 for peeled and oooasionally slioed veneer produotion and fetob low to medium pricee. Desrade 10gB are sawn and only obtain low prioes. BALSA (122) whioh acoounts for 3.5 per oent of 1911/13 produotion and exports i8 the lighteat coameroial timber and is tradiilonal~ used tor in8ulation, pattern. and iqra.

The remaining timbers LUPUNA (54), CEDRO ROJO (47), PARICARANA (148), SERINOA (93), C.1ROBA (104), and HAIARI (3-5) have been used almost exolu.ively looally for low cost veneer and plywood manufactUre and togetber with PEINlWONO 912-14), CAKORUCO (173), SE~O (135), HIGUERON (90,91) and COPAL (187) a8 low coat Bawnwood for general utility purposes.

The medium density wood species as shown in Table 9 accounted in 1971/73 for 53 per cent and 65 per cent of the total Baw- and veneer log produotion and exports res­pectively; they show particularly good workability and finiahing properties and gener­ally have a good log torm and mediUilihrinkage, strength and durability properties. This group comprises the most important oommercial timbers of the region.

VIROLA (192-198) - a traditional commercial timber - accounted for 24 per cent of the total production and 31 per cent of the exports. It is very sui table for veneer and plywood manufacture and is generally used for theee purposes, but alao for cases, cheap furniture, matches, etc. CAOB! (115) and CEDhO (48,49) are the classic timbers of Latin America and could be used wherever attraotive wld dimensionall~ stable wood is required. The more important applications for CAOBA are for house and office furniture, archi tectural woodwork and panelling, cabine ts, models Wid foundry patterns, boats and ships, aoulpture, turning, carvillg and decoratlve veneers whereas CEDRO is recommended for cabinets, patterns, musical instruments, boats, decorative veneer and millwork. ANDIROBA (36,31) or Crabwood, is in demand for general construction and carpentry, housebullding, panelling, flooring, furniture and cabinet making.

These four timbers - VIROLA, CAOBA, CEDRO, ANDIROBA - cover 99 per cent of the exports of the medium density timbers or 64 per cent of the total exports. The remain­ing 36 medium density timbers have so far only been accepted by the local markets. LOURO (123) QUARUBA{200-208), PAU D'ARCO (111), CEREJEIRA (1,110), WANA (132), and DUKALI (136~ were exported in small quantities. These general utility timbers are used ae sswnwood for interior construction and general 1I.8lluftt.cturing, ~UARUBA and CEREJElRA. have already been peeled B!I.tisfactorily.

Of the local tiDlbers, without any reported exports, the following species, CATIVO (161), LAUREL (59), JACAREUBA (31-34), ~ld NOGAL (105,106) are Buitable for decorative veneer produotion, S!QU1-SA~U1 (24), S~ (141), SANDE (30), MOREILLO (80), cARAno (63,162), ULCUMANO (156), ANlWE (64,65,163), ~OROTOTO (10), DIABLO FUERTE (154), ISHPINGO (6,7), BAROMALLI (45,46), are used for veneer Dlanufacture, but also as sawn­wood together with LOURO INHAMUY ~125), ROBLE CORRIENTE (123), A..PAMATE (118), FERNAN­SANCHEZ (188), KOENA (124,128-130), JIGUA (120~121), ENCENILLO (210), PERILLO BLANCO (94), AMARILLO (119), CHA~U1RO (155), SAJO (52), MUNDEY (82), FAVEIRA (131-139,190), PISI (126-130,133), and PEHILLU NEGRO (61) known as medi~h6avy utility timbers. With regard to use properties, no or only slight information is available for PAU D'ARCO (117), JIGUA (120,121), ULCUMANO (156), DIABLO FUERTE (154), and CEREJEIRA (1,110).

The medium denaity wood speCies, as well as the low density species, are the pre­ferred timbers for veneer and p~ood manufacture and fetch low to medium prices. The value of saw- or peeler quality species mentioned in this group does not exceed class 2-medium. This is also valid for the sliced veneer category where only CAOBA (115) and CEDRO (48,49) fetch class 3-intermediate price levels (Appendix VI).

The upper density wood speoies &s shown in Table 10 accounted for 1 per oent of the 1911/13 total .aw- and veneer log production and thus only one-eighth of the quanti­ty of the medium density apecie8. Their average properties aeem to be superior to tho.e o! the medium density group, as wood species with good to medium properties prevail. Workability ia 80m.what below average, but most species show good finishing and atrength properties, good log form, good to medium durability and medium shrinkage properties.

~oncerned with maintaining the optimum value of wood until it can be utilized to it-best advantage. This is common ~raotlce for many high quality woods - tropioal and temperate - suob as Blaok Walnut from the USA, and Sen from Japan. But in the tropi-cal timber trade of South America there has so far been very little demand for the higher valued wooda. More recently, exports of Letterwood (1037) from G~ana, have been reported.

The high densi~ wood species aooounted for 10 per cent in the aggregate produc­tion of sa~- and veneer loge in 1971/73 and 5 per cent of tae total exports. These timbers are generally used for special purposes and/or heavy conetruotion.

OREENHEABT (131) from OU¥ana - in competition with BASRALOKUS (69) from Surinam and AZOBE froID Vleet and Central Afrioa - due to its resistance to Teredo and marine borera and good strengtb properties, haa a oontinuous market in marine construotion, and beoause of its tire resistanoe i, the building timber preferred locally for fram­ing, cladding and flooring. CUPIUB! (92) is an exoellent all-round purpose timber for general and heavy construotion, framing members, furniture, panelling etc. Freshly out, it bas a foetid odour which disappears on drying. Many of the high densit,y timbers such aa GREENHEART (131), CUPIUBA (92), SUCUPIRA MAT! (26), GUAYABO (181,182, 184), COURBARIL (99), PURPLE HEART (140-145), SUCUPlRA (72,73), MACACAUBA (150-153), RATO (116,117), MORA (115), PAU MARFIM (1), KUlRACATIARA (21), P!RICARANA (25), SUCUPIRA AYARELA (75), and JUTAl (100) are suitable for decorative veneer manufacture and fetoh medium to intermediate prices. MAPARANJUB4 (111,112), ANOELIM (101,103), ACAPU (209), !NOELI)4 PEDlU. (71), ANGELHl RAJ !DO (146), and PARCOURI (149) are aui t­able for internal and external joiner,y being highly resistant and of medium cost. One of the remaining hig. density timbera whioh retch a rather low price i. WAL1AB& (76-79) which haa excellent propertiee for transmission polea, flagstaffs etc., and i, particularly used for these purpoaes. All these timbers, with the exoeption of CARRETTO (17-20), VAR4 PIEDIU. (42,44), PAU MARFIM (1), and ABIUUNA (114,157-160), are suitable for railw~ aleepera because of tneir good durability and strength properties.

With regard to the use properties of C~TAUBA (81), UKIRI (96), JUT!I (100), aDd TANIBOUCA (183) no, or only slight information is available.

A oQmpariaon between the property evaluation table, of light to high den.ity wood species reveala a oompletely adverse pioture with regard to workability and ahrinkage properties OD the one hand, and strength and durability properties on the other. Some a.peots of thia property ".wi tch" beheen light and heavy woods are bued on lo1enU­fically establiahed property-density correlations. Strength properties in partioular are often olosely related to density. The key role which density or speoifio weight plil' in market acoeptanoe i8 emphaaized Qy the fact that out of a total number of 210 oommeroial wood speciea the 102 low and medium density wood apeoies aooounted for 67 per oent of the total saw- and veneer log production, and for 69 per oent of total exports, whereat the 108 upper and high density wood .peoies onlY aooounted for 17 and 8 per oent of saw- and veneer log produotion and exports respeotively. In thi. con­text it 8hould be noted that a considerable portion of the reported export' of South Amerioan tropical woods haa not been ,peoified by wood speoie" i.e. 92 per oent of the law- and veneer log exporte, and 23 per oent of sawnwood export" were unspeoi­fied.

5. The problem of lesser-used wood species

There is hardly any subject related to troplcal forestry which has found such wide spread interest in recent years as lesser-used wood species. Yet very little informa­tion clarifying the magnitude of the problem bas become available. Tbe man~ement of heterogeneous tropical rain forests involves intricate and complex iosues many of wbich are related to marketing. The presence of' ma.n.y wood species with different and widely varying properties and characteristics poses stubborn problems impeding the full utilization .. nd better mallaGt!r.I~nt of these forests.

In tbe course of time various terms have been employed to characterize insuffic­iently used wood species such as secondary species, lesser-known wood species, weed species, little-used species, etc. None of these terms is associated with an exact description of the circumstances which make a particular species lesser-known, little used or secondary. There are several reasons which make it difficult to arrive at plausible and generally valid definitions, for instance, it may happen that a particu­lar species is little used in one country and fully cOlllDlercialized in another. Also, in some countries statistics on wood species are insufficiently covered, mainly because of insufflcient attention given to collecting production trade and consumption data.

The conoequence of applYlng the term "leS.:l6r-Used" or "lesser-known" is the impli­cation to make species better known to the forester, the manufacturer and the user. This in,plies that basiC knowledg~ must be available to support action which is taken to promote better knowledge, with the ultimate aim to obtain better market acceptance. An essential prerel/.ulSl te f(lr proa:.otional action is the provision of basic knowle~e on the qual1 tative as well 8S tilt; quanti tati VEl or supply aspects of individual and! or groups or species. On the other hand, basic knowledge on wood species should be suffi­Ciently comprehensive to allow concluGions as to whether promotional action is worth­while.

In Chapter 3 it was suggested to apply the term "lesser-ulled" wood species in all cases where 1 og production has been below 1000 It) per annun.. Furthermore, all those species were ea.rmarked as "lesser-used" species - at least preliminarily - whioh have been identified as having commercial potential.

The second part of Appendix II, enti tled "Use Propertie s of South American Tropi­cal Wood Species - B. Lesser-used Species" presents the results of detailed investiga­tions aimed at narrowing down the problem and specifically at assessing the number of species in the "lesser-used" category, Le., to identify those species which are either used in small quantities or not at all, but which - at least preliminarily -qualifY for use in the form of sawnwood, veneer and plywood. The total number so far identified in Appendix II.B amounts to 26~. F~T their selection the following criteria were applied elther individually or in oombinationl

a) wood species which are repcrted to be produced in quantities below 1000 m) during the year of reference;

b) wood species which are botanioally related to already commercialized wood species;

0) wood species with log form and diameter (LOGF) not below medium (b);

d) average of all use properties not below medium (B).

Selection ~f lesser-used speoies i8 based on 30 publications as mentioned 1n the bibliography Appendix VIII. From the relatively ample literature available it is as.umed that'the number of really unknown wood species whiqh wculd qual1t,y for inclu­sion in the "lesBer-used" category must be relatively small. It can be seen from Appendix II, that indications on use properties are not alw~8 available in sufficient detail to allow olassifioation into either A, B or C corresponding to the three classes

of average use properties as explained in Appendix VII Explanation of Symbols, Abbrevi­ations and Methods Used.

The classification into A, B and C is an e •• ential basis for the comparison of use properties between the various categories of wood referred to in thi •• tudy. It alBo allows - with the reservations made in Chapter 4 - for the comparison of use properties between lesser-used and commercial species, as shown in Table 12.

It is very interesting to see from Table 12 that there are only a few substantial differences in use properties between commercial and lesser-used species. There is first the increase of C in the DURAbility category of Section I which indicate. that 72 per cent of the lesser-used species are of low durability, against 45 per cent in the commercial species category. Since percentages are high in both relative and abso­lute ter~e, the need for intro~ucing and maintaining the application of suitable wood preservation methods must again be ewphasized, particularly for low and medium density species. Secondly, shrinkage properties are somewhat better for commercial species. In the upper and high density species category problems of durability are less acoentu­ated, but those of shrinkage and form stability are moving into the foreground indica­ting the need to p~ attention to proper seasoning. Surprisingly, workability and finishing properties of leeser-used species prove to be almost equal, or sometimes even better, than those of the commercial species.

For all species in the lesser-used speoies category one faotor appears to be of particular significanoe, namely the characteristics summarized under LOOF - log form and size. As mentioned before, all speoies with LOOF - grade C have been eliminated from the aotive list of lesser-used specie. oontained in Appendix II.B, and oon.e­quently only those speoies with A - good and B - medium log form are inoluded in the list. Table 12 reveals that the peroentages of good log form (A) ohange draatical1Y in the low and medium density oategor,y from 72 per cent to 49 per oent, and in the upper and ~igh density from 67 per oent to 50 per oent. It is thus obvious :hat LOOF'

- characteristios pl&l a deoisive role at present in the market acceptance of tropical woods. This fact is probably related to the higher requirements of the export trade, as for domestic industrial use and prooessing log form and size requirements are gen­erally less stringent.

Another inter~sting feature emerges from Table 12 in that the total number of speCies contained in the upper and high density group with 91 and 130 species is c:on­siderably larger than the speoies in the low and medil~ density group which are norm­ally finding better market acceptance (see Chapter 4). The above 211 lesser-used species fall under the following density groupsi

L - 33 M - 48 u - 49 H - 81

It follows that any promotional effort in favour of lesser-used species must aim at overcoming the technical problems which are related to using heavier woods.

In this context, and in addition to what has been mentioned above on the prepara­tion and conduct of promotional efforts it is emphasized &gain that use properties of the respective species need to be studied in depth before starting action. It is not the purpose of this study to provide detailed guidelines for the promotion of lesser­used species. However, it is obvious that the study itself provides a useful basis for planning action in ttis field Which would suit individual condition~.

The data on use properties of lesser-used species as can be seen from Appendix II, pages 5 to 9, are not always complete. In many cases information even of a purely empirical nature is not available, and quite often property tests have not been carried out. On the other hand, generally speaking, ample results from research and testing work h~ve been widely published in mar~ languages, not only for commercial woods but also for many lesser-used species. One of the purposes of the present study is to provide, through Appendix II, indications on which species requiro further investi~a­tiona and which gaps need to be filled. An analysis of the 263 lesser-used wood Bpecies revealed the lack of use property information, as followsl

Density 52 wood speoies Workability 98 " " Shrinkage l~ " Finishing 141 " Strength 136 " Durability 93 •• Log form 76 "

Finishing - 54 per oent, strength - 52 per cent, and shrinkage - 46 per oent, show the greatest lack of information followed by workability (37 per cant), durability (35 per cent), log form (23 per cent) and density (20 per cent). In this context it should also be noted that 41 leeser-used wood 8peoies, or 16 per cent, bave not ~et been botanioally specified. (See Appendix I, e.g. Ref.Nos. 6,27,3l,b2,123 etc.)

Earlier in this ohapter reference was made to the fact that it m~ happen tbat a particular speoies is little used in one country and fully commercialized in another. in this respect Appendioes I to V allow an exact definition and it is suggested that in Tropical South American countries, those concerned with using or promoting the use of wood speoies, find out first in wbich otber countries the wood speoies occur (Appendix I), and then look up the production and trade tables of Appendices III, IV, and V in order to find out in whicb order of magnitude the species is produoed and marketed in other countries. Appendix II on wood properties, together with Appendix VIII On Bibliography, allow them to obtain a pioture of the properties and uses of the .pecies conoerned whioh could be further amplified by obtaining supplementary informa-

tion from countries whlre the Ipeeies i8 producld and us.d in commeroial quantities.

The FAO Committee on Forest Development in the Tropics, at its Third Se8sion, agreed that the experienoe gained in establishing or improving olassifioation by wood properties and in marketing systems could be expected to complement each other and be used in the development of a market strategy for the promotion of lesser-used species. Two major complementar,y lines of aotion emerge. One oentres on establisbing common uses for utility timbers witb similar properties, the other on optimizing tbe value. of wood species with assumed higher ~uality potential. In order to support action at the national and international level the Committee recommended that "FAO, in conjunc­tion with IUFBO, and in collaboration with other specialized institutions Ihould eltablish internationally comparable standards for the use properties of lesser-used species".

The first step in this direction has already been made and oonsiste of the estab­liehment of active liets on use properties of A. Commercial, and B. Lesser-used speo­ies, as contained in Appendix II. Tbe A-B-C olalsification Iystem used therein rep­resents a f1rlt approach to the problem of establishing oomparability between the various items. It fulfills this purpose within the framework and objectives of the present stu~. Further stepi in pursuing the above recommendation are based on the "Checklist on Properties and Charaoteri.tics for tbe Evaluation of Lesser-used Wood Speoies", contained in Appendix VII of the present study.

6. Possibilities for expanding the marketable wood base

The present study has so far been eesentlally geared towards analysing and evalu­ating use property characteristics and market acceptance of commercial and lesser-used wood species. The results allow us to draw conclusions and to bring into foous possi­bilities for the expanded marketing and use of South American tropical wood and wood products.

Before doing so it 88ems appropnate to review briefly the main features of re­source potential and market prospects including actual trends in industry and trade development &S they are generally known or anticipated:

(a) medium and long-term deuland for tropic!!.l forest products is expected to expand further, both overseas and locally; rising domestic requirements and local processing will improve the diversiflcation of products and widen the soope of wood utlli~ation;

(b) resources of commercial woods are dwindling and lncreasing efforts are needed to introduce lesser-used wood species, and to intensify regenera­tionl

(c) wood supply requirements for individual mills tend to lnCreaSej this trend i& supported by the orlentati~n towards horizontal and/or vertlcal integration in wood processing;

(d) more uniform qualities and better quality control are required, particu­larly for serial and mass-manufacture of consumer goods such as furniture, prefab windows, wall panels; increased trade in processed products implies the harmonization of respective grading rules and standards;

(e) improved transport economics call for larger ships and more mechanized handling, which in tUrn influence sizes of loads and parcels, and the kind and type of packaging, but also facilitates shipping of processed products.

The above points suggest that changes in industr,y and market requirements have a partioularly vigorous impact on the supply pattern of tropical woods. Of course, this applies to all - not only tropical - wood supplies since requlrements for quantity and quality have been changing and are also expected to change in future. But there is also the fact that forests are a renewable resource and changes in wood requirements are increaSingly recognized as being a prinCipal parameter for decision-making in tropioal torest management.

The following two tables, 13 and 14, throw into relief recent utilization patterns for South American tropical wood. Table 13 assesses the quantities and percentages of wood processed locally and overseas into sawnwood, veneer and plywood as followsl

Table 13 indlcates that most of the saw- and veneer log prod~ction ie processed into sawnwood (87 per cent), followed by plywood (11 per cent) and veneer (2 per cent). Due to the structure and state of the forest produqts industries 1n Tropical South America Ii substar:tial portion of sawnwood was processed in rather small sawmills -de,ily productlon helow 50 m3 - and consumed locallY. Only relatively rew milIa in the countries of origin are fairly large,i.e. with a daily production above 100 m3. These larger mill s cover almost all of the exports of processed products.

A I'elatlvely hrge portion of the 1971/73 saw- and veneer 10i production was pro­cess&d locally - 93 per cent,and only 7 per cent, or one-fifth of the total exports in rowldwood e1uivalents was processed in importing countries.

Recent investigations in the Amazone basin revealed that the averace number of wood species processed in sawmills is surprisingly low. Some sa~lls have speoial­ized in one speCies, and the number of sawmills which u.e up to 25 .pecie •. 1' small. About 75 per cent of th~ sawmills reported that they are still sawing the same speoie. as three years ago, 12 per cent are uling more lpeoies, and the re.t reported ohange. in the species mix. Species selection i8 general~ ba.ed on three criteria, i.e. thOle speoies whioh (a) are conlidered easy to eell, (b) are reQ.uested ~ o~.tomers, and (c) are readily available. On the other hand it should be noted that the speoie. oom­position DI8,Y change from mill to mill, with the result that the total number of speoi.s used in the wider Amazone basin has reached at leaat 210 wood speoies as counted in Appendices I and II.

Industrial investors in the wider Amazone basin - in vie. of the foregoing - are faced with a widely varying pattern of mixed epeoie. distribution, whioh may ohange 1n eacb individual locality. On the other hand, with regard to use properties of the.e speoies, tbere is - generally speaking - a high degree of flexib1lit1 in the use of most wood speoies, and liats indioat1ng poasible us.s for individual wood speoies oould be endlessly repetitive, partioularly for those with good average propertiel.

If a wood specie. is marketed at elevated or premium prioes it 1s normally b.oaus. of good average properties and at least one additional outstanding feature, often re­lated to the decorative aspects. Allo other oharaoterietios suoh as a oombination of

good strength and durability propertie., e.g. greenheart, find their appreciation on the market. There are of oourse many examplee for the exoellent performance of indiYi­dual tropical wood speoiee in specit1r: end-usee, which cannot be met by oonifers and hardwoods from the temperate ~one beoause there are no species with equivalent proper­ties. Un the other hand, examples have been reporhd where wood values becaullle of ig­norance or negligenoe did not materialize, e.g. the use of fine joinery timbers for railway sleepere, but also cases ar~ known where quality and wood value differences are much narrower, as for instance when peeler loge were used ae construction timber.

Every reason and world-wide experience speak for continuing with marketing practi­cee which optimize wood values. On the other hand, the rising demand for utility timbere, not only in domestio but aleo increasingly on Oyeraeas m&rkets, requires a different approach in promoting tropical timbera, &81

- it i8 unthinkable for technical and economic reasons that a larg~ number of wood species could be handled individually in the various stages of carvelllting, prooessing and tradel

- major uses for utility timbers and their technical reqUirements can be identi­fied and speoified relatively easily.

It follows - and this wae emphasized b,y the Committee on Forest Development in the Tropics - that more attention must be given to the grouping of wood specie. and to the eetabliehment of common u.e-property oriented criteria for grouping. The success or failure of grouping wood species for promotional purposes largely depends on the deg­ree of similarity in use properties. If properties are identical, different species could be marketed together, perhaps even for highly sophistioated uses. However, a few deviations from average properties for example in colour or surface finishing, may cause severe disturbances in the chain linking producers, traders and users. Larger differenoes seriously and adversely affeot prices and often result in breaking up the grouping, with the oonsequence that those epeoies with deviating or varying properties have to be singled out. To some extent utility grades and similar assortments might tolerate deviations from a given average quality, but at the expense of price. There is no doubt that grouping of wood speoie. has been oommercially very successful -although thi8 success has so far been restrioted to only one of the major producing regions of tropical wood, namely Southeast Asia. In this region the bulk of the comm­eroial timbers is traded in a rew major groups, the most important of which belong to the Dipterocarp family.

Efforts aimed at expanding the market~ble wood base, in addition to the above two possibilities of (i) optimizing values of individual speoies, and (ii) grouping of wood speoies, need to take into aocount (IIi) the promotion of mixed trorical hardwoods for Integrated industrial use, whioh implies that combined action with I) and ({I) Is posslble and often neoessary. The need for promoting integrated industrial usage is related to the faot that certain tropioal wood species will also in future not, or only insufficiently, be used in their solid for~, i.e. for sawnwood, veneer and/or plywood. However, prospeota are becoming increasingly favourable for using such species in the1r disintegrated form as chips and fibres and 1t must be expected that in future board and/ or pulp factories will compete in individual localities with sawmills, veneer and p~­wood mills for utility and low-grade wood materials. In oertain areas 1n Southeast Asia developments are very close to such a situation already.

Knowledge of the use and marketing of wood speciss ie an essential basis for the various planning and management act1v1tie8 in the tropical forestry and forest indus­tries sector. In this respeot investment IIItudi.s usually centre their interest on the following points.

(a) For resource surveys and induetrial identification and pre-feasibility studies In specifio tropical forest areas the need arises to proviae a use property screening pattern for the evaluation of unknown or inoompletely known wood

All the above advantages are already taken into aocount in plywood marketing .ino. vene.r drying haa b.oom. an .ssential part of the produotion prooess. Some of the utility veneer peeling mills eatablished in the ~iddle of tropical fore.t resources do not us. dr"ing faoilities. At this stage it is difficult to fore.ee whether the export of "green" veneer w111 remain a.cceptable, both technically and eoonomically, to produo­.r. and consumers of veneers. Ev~n tod~ the marketing of green veneer is not common17 practised, partioularly as far as decorative veneera are oonoerned.

,11 though the bulk of tbe world 'a sawnwood trade is .Ull marketed "ehlpping-dr,," which impli.s air-seaeoning before shipment, there is a clear trend towards kiln drying. Except for the typical utility ~ld common construotion timber., this trend is exp.ct.d to dev.lop furth.r, beoaus. of the obvious advantagee enumerated above. South ~erioa'a tropical .awnwood .xport. con.i.t mainly of wood .peciea and qualities .uit­able for furniture making, window manufaoturs and other .peoific use., which r'quire low wood moi.turs content.. Con.idering the.e end-use requirem.nt. in oonneotion with the .eoond and third points above hints at po.sibilitie. for expanding process.d wood produots trade.

However, changing from On. produot to marketing another more prooe.aed one, in­evitably implies different marketing practioe. and often other marketing channel •• The problem really is how the .emi-prooe.sed product can be more readily integrated into the respeotive atages of the oustomer's production linea, or the finished one into final application. Since tropical forest produot. nor=ally have to be transport.d over long di.tances specifio problems arise because several months of transport between produoer and oonsumer are involved. The timing of delivery needs speoial attention but generally problem. prevail whioh are related to produot speoification and .tandardiza­tion, dimen.ional aocuraoy, toleranoes and quality oontrol and to the type and quality of paokaging. While in the field of common aawnwood trade, the matter of grading and speoifioation ha •• 0 far been taken oare of by a few more or lea •• imilar grading rule., international rules and praotioes for sawnwood produot. are virtually not e.tabli.hed. Experienoe obtained from the still rather limited international trade suggest. that practice. would have to be muob more exaoting, particularl1 as far a. international rule. or .tandard. are oonoerned. As & first step it appear. appropriate to .Itabli.h a li.t of produots whioh would be .uitable for international standardization a. oppos.d to thoae produot. whioh also in future would have to be individually .peoified at the time of ordering beoause of frequently ohanging dimen.ional and/or quality rtquirement., and perhaps beoau.e quan~ities are too .mall. Any furtber oonsideration of this matter needs to be made within the framework of individual market .tudies, w~th the objective of providing the parties involved with information on the feasibility of expanding trade in prooessed products.

As to shipping prooessed products air-tight wrapping of kiln-dried ticber i. es.eu­tial and should be practioed wbenever po.aiblo. Transport in oontainer. offers addition­al advantage.. Apart from the viewpoint of eoonomio handling, it provide. invulnerable packaging, proteotion against .ea water and rain, and thi. h.lp. maintaining the pre­determined moi.ture oont.nt and dimen.ional atability whioh are an •••• ntial part of oontraoted produot quality and a pr.oondition for rea~ employment of produot. by oon­sumer.. While thes. teohnioal advantage. need to be k,pt in mind for po.sible applioa­tion, the laok of 1nfraetruoture and of o~her faotor •• upporting the u •• of oontainer., often preolude. th.ir immediate introduotion in many developing oountr1e..

duction in South America, and the majori~ of ~he.e timbers are u.ed ... awnwood tor building and structural purposes. On the other hand, from the anal7.i. ot wood .peoie. made in ohapter 4 and from inventory work '0 tar carried out it m~ be a •• umed that the average d_1sity of wood speoies in South Amerioan tropioal moi.t tore.t. i. subetan­tially higher than in temperate fore.ts, where oonifer. are prevall1n.. It 1e obvioue that the tropical forests lack the content of lower den.ity .peoie. which would be needed to supplement the demand for utility and peeling timber.. Therefore attention should be given to speoies within this range of density in planning the regeneration of forest resOuroes and when evaluating the use potential of lesser-used wood speoie ••

Grading rules pl~ a oentral role in produot and market development. The taot that the average density of wood in tropioal tore.ts il .ubstantially hi,her than in temperate foreets, implie. that inoreaeed efforts should be made to develop new or to adapt existing techniques allowing for the use of higher den.ity broadleaved timbers in applioations which have so far been traditionally met by ooniferous timbers. The Committee on Forest Development in the Tropios at its 4th Se.sion emphasized that in­oreasing attention be given to struotural uses for tropioal timber, particularly in view of the direct impact thie could have on improving sooio-economio oondition. in the developing oountries. Efforts need to be inoreased to introduce grading rules and standards whioh can meet satisfactorily domestic needs. They should be developed in olose relation with other initiatives on a regional and international level, with the objective of harmonizing efforts as muoh as possible. In this oontext it wa. suggested that the A~l&¥aian Grading Rules might be used as an example. Particular attention should be paid to the training of graders and to the sstabli.hment of grading control systems.

In conolusion, there are many distinct possibilities for expanding the marketable wood base in South American tropioal moist forests. They need to be defined for eaoh particular forest area selected for development, since local resouroe conditions and domestic market requirementti as well &8 possibilitie. for export trade m~ vary oon­siderably. Each caee needs to be studied in the light of rather complex implicatione aimed at clarifYing the feasibility of developing industries in the light of the resouroes on which they will be baaed. The effortl directed towards •• tablishing local prooessing industries need to be supplemented by market and product promotion efforts. There is an inoreasing awareness for this need. Five Latin American oountrie., Vene­zuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia as members of the Andean Pact Commission are combining in a Dlajor effort to make more effective use in the local construotion induatry of the vast resources of the tropical rain foreets in the Andes region. The ooo~erative research inoludes investigating the technical properties of about 100 wood species. This effort is part of a regional strategy for the building up of a .cienoe and teohnology programme that would stimulate economio and 80cial development.
