Selected
Forestry Statistics Canada presents a series of tables on commodity
production, shipments and trade, principal and employment statistics
by industry sector, as well as selling price indexes, financial
statistics, and economic indicators. Some transportation, construction,
and international data complete the picture. Over 130 tables of
forest economic data at the national and provincial levels are
included. Data have been extracted from approximately 55 different
publications. In addition, the last section of this web site describes
the main forestry and economic terms used in the tables. The conversion
factors used to convert from metric to imperial measure and the
standard symbols used are also provided. The reader should note
that the columns of figures may not always add up due to rounding.
To increase the precision and facilitate the retrieval of time
series data, CANSIM
(a computerized data bank of Statistics
Canada) was used wherever possible. The tables of commodity
data were retrieved from CD ROM produced by Statistics Canada's
International Trade Division and the world statistics were retrieved
from AGROSTAT produced by the Food
and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Arrangements
can be made to provide selected tables on diskette in Excel format.
