Southern Pu pwood Production, 1993

Introduction

This annual publication presents the findings of a 100-percent canvass of wood using pulpmills that draw roundwood or wood residues from the 12 Southern States from Virginia to Texas (fig. 1). Canvass data are compiled annually and analyzed by the Southern Research Station. Of the total 102 mills canvassed, 9 2 responded. Past canvass data and other sources of information were used for mills that did not respond. All production figures are reported in cords. Mill data reported in nonstandard units are converted to standard cords wi th regional conversion factors.

Pulpwood

In 1993, the Midsouth led in the production of pulp- woodl strpplying 36.0 million cords compared to the Southeast's production of 30.3 million cords (table 1). From a record 67.9 million cords in 1992, pulpwood production fell 2 percent in 1993 to 66.3 million cords (table 2). Alabama continues to lead the South wi th 10.3 million cords of pulpwood produced in 1993, a decline of 9 percent from 1992. Second-ranked Georgia reported a production decrease of 6 percent, w i th 9.6 million cords, while production in third-ranked Mississippi increased by 3 percent, wi th 7.8 million cords. State production increases and decreases were evenly divided in 1993. The highest percentage increase was in North Carolina and South Carolina where each reported a 5-percent increase, while the largest percentage drop, a 45-percent decline, occurred in Oklahoma. Softwood roundwood accounted for 4 5 percent of the total pulpwood production, hardwood roundwood accounted for 2 4 percent, and wood residues the remainder.

Roundwood

Roundwood continues to be the primary resource used in pulp manufacture, accounting for 7 0 per- cent of the total pulpwood production. Overall, the South's roundwood production was down 2 percent in 1 993. Softwood roundwood accounted for nearly two-thirds of the roundwood production (table 3). From 1 992 to 1 993, softwood roundwood produc- tion declined 6 percent, while hardwood roundwood production increased 6 percent. In total roundwood production, Alabama led wi th 8.0 million cords,

followed by Georgia wi th 7.0 million cords and Mississippi w i th 5.3 million cords (table 4). The combined roundwood production for these three States made up nearly 4 4 percent of the total round- wood production for the Southern States. South Carolina had the highest percentage increase, 1 4 percent, and Oklahoma had the highest per- centage decrease, 6 9 percent. South Carolina also had the largest volume increase of 562,000 cords, while Alabama had the largest volume decrease of 702,000 cords. From 1984 to 1993, utilization of roundwood increased by 2 0 percent. Softwood roundwood use was up almost 1 4 percent, while hardwood roundwood use increased by 32 percent.

Wood Residues

In 1993, wood residue production in the South was down 4 percent t o 19.9 million cords (table 5). More than three-fourths of the wood residues pro- duced were softwoods. Chipped residues accounted for 9 9 percent of all residues (table 6). Georgia led all States in the production of wood residues at 2.6 million cords, followed by Arkansas and Louisiana wi th more than 2.5 million cords each. Seven of the 1 2 States had production declines in 1993. Tennessee had the highest percentage decrease, down 2 3 percent from 1992. Georgia had the largest volume decrease, down 553,000 cords. Oklahoma had the highest percentage increase, 95 percent, and Mississippi had the largest volume increase at 267,000 cords. The Midsouth topped the Southeast in wood residue production, supplying 6 2 percent of the total residue volume.

Regional Trends

More than 5 4 percent of the South's total pulpwood production was supplied by the Midsouth States. By comparison, hardwood pulpwood production increased more than 1 3 percent in the Southeast, while the Midsouth showed a 2-percent decline. Both the Southeast and Midsouth had a 5-percent decline in softwood production. The Midsouth supplied 5 2 percent of the softwood production and 5 9 percent of the hardwood production.

In 1993, Taylor County, Florida, produced the most pulpwood roundwood of any county or parish in the South wi th 543,000 cords (figs. 2 and 3). Three

counties or parishes produced over 400,000 cords, 2 counties or parishes produced more than 300,000 cords, 2 0 counties or parishes produced 200,000 to 300,000 cords, and "1; 18 counties or parishes produced 100,000 or more cords (tables 7-1 €3). Alabama ied all States wi th 34 counties producing more than 100,000 cords of roundwood pulpwood per county. Softwood and hardwood roundwood production appears to be concentrated in Southwest Alabama, where 17 and 7 counties, respectively, produced 100,000 cords or more.

This represents a loss of one mill since 1992. A t the same time, pulping capacity declined from 4 33,400 t o 132,327 tons per day (table 19). Alabama and Georgia continued t o lead the South in the number of mills operating wi th 1 5 and 1 3 mills, respectively. Alabama led in pulping capacity wi th 21,493 tons per day, to Georgia's 2 1,070 tons per day. In addi- tion, four pulpmills from outside the Southern region drew wood from the South in 1993 (table 20).

Mills

In 1993, 102 Southern pulpmills were operating and drawing wood from the 1 2 Southern States (fig. 4).

Trends

From 1 9 8 4 through 1 993, Southern pulpwood pro- duction increased almost 1 3 percent, from 58.7 t o 66.3 million cords (fig. 5). During the same period, roundwood pulpwood production increased from 38.7 to 46.3 million cords, a 2 0 percent gain. Between 1 9 8 4 and 1 993 hardwood roundwood production increased 3 2 percent, whereas softwood roundwood production increased 1 4 percent. Since 1984, the output and use of wood residues have remained relatively stable. Wood residues decreased

less than 1 percent from 20.0 million cords in 1 984 to 1 9.9 million cords in 1 993. In spite of this small decline, wood residues continue t o be an important source of fiber for the pulpwood industry in the South, accounting for 3 0 percent of all pulpwood production in 1993.
