Forest Products Data for Journalists, Academics & Students

The four relevance-3 anchors each cover one citation need. The UK Forestry Statistics and Facts & Figures is an accredited Official Statistics release whose ODS time series run from 1971 to 2026 depending on topic. The USDA Forest Service FIA DataMart and Timber Products Output (TPO) carries plot-level US inventory records plus mill-level Timber Products Output surveys back to 1997. The FAO Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) Data Platform holds country-reported figures for 236 countries and areas at five-year benchmarks from 1990 to 2025. The remaining eleven sit at relevance 2 - still quotable, but national or thematic rather than core. The forest-products data hub carries the whole-industry view.

Each entry opens with the one-liner from our tagging, then the specifics that decide whether a figure survives an editor or a peer reviewer.

When no DOI exists, cite the publishing agency, the release name and your access date - the form statistical agencies themselves ask for. Three inputs prescribe it exactly. The FAO Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) Data Platform requires 'FAO. 2025. Global Forest Resources Assessment 2025. Rome' with DOI 10.4060/cd6709en. Eurostat asks for 'Source: Eurostat'. Elsewhere the pattern is agency plus table code: the Statistics Canada - Lumber Production, Shipments and Stocks resolves to Statistics Canada Table 16-10-0017-01, and the UK Forestry Statistics and Facts & Figures to Forest Research's Forestry Statistics 2025, released 25 September 2025.

Two cadences are unusual: the ITTO Global Timber Index (GTI) Monthly Reports surveys enterprises every month, while the FAO Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) Data Platform cycle is static between five-year assessments, so pair it with a live monitor when timeliness matters. Catalog context: 22.6% of 1,744 datasets.8% refresh at least weekly, making three daily sources in a fifteen-record pool strong coverage.
