Wood Resources International LLC (WRI), an internationally recognized forest industry consulting firm established in 1987, has successfully completed more than 200 consulting assignments in over 35 countries worldwide. Understanding the ever-changing global wood supply and demand situation requires closely following not only developments of fast-rotation plantations in the Southern Hemisphere, the
evolving Russian forest sector and the extent of illegal logging worldwide, but also changes in capacity and competitiveness in the solid wood, and pulp and paper sectors on a global scale. In addition, tracking changes in global wood prices and wood markets every quarter enable us to utilize completely up-to-date statistics. For our forest sector analyses we always incorporate the most updated information regarding forest resources and industry developments. Rather than relying on outdated statistics and internet sources, we often visit regions of importance and collect information first-hand in a cost-efficient manner. Countries visited for on-site research in the past few years have included China, Russia, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, South Africa and Canada.
