Overview of forest products markets and policies

The 2014 edition of the UNECE/FAO Forest Products Annual Market Review provides a comprehensive review of market developments in the UNECE region in 2013 and of the policies driving those developments. The UNECE region is made up of three subregions: Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and North America. It stretches from Canada and the United States of America (US) in the west through Europe to the Russian Federation and the Caucasus and Central Asian republics in the east. It includes almost all boreal and temperate forests in the Northern Hemisphere and covers about 1.7 billion hectares, which is just under half the world’s total forest area and almost 38% of the land area of the UNECE region.
