Improving the Forest Database to Support Sustainable Forest Management: Domestic Timber Prices and Rental Rates

This study uses primary data on domestic timber prices collected directly from in-country sources to create regional adjustment factors for wood wealth that can be used by the World Bank in its comprehensive wealth program. These ratios can be applied to the country-level timber export data as published by FAO in order to create adjusted estimates of wood wealth that reflect more accurately the value of timber production at the global scale.
