With respect to 2010, there was a decrease of 8%. Of all the processed wood, 677,453 m3r (73.7%) came from forest plantations, 215 294 m3r, from land for agricultural use (23.4%) and 26,266 m3-r, from the forest (2.9%).
The production of wood in rolls reached 981,445 m3 during 2017, a volume only 1.3% higher than that reported in 2016.
According to the annual report of the National Forestry Office (ONF), in the harvest of 981,445 m³ of wood in rolls reported last year, was considered log wood dedicated to export and sawn timber by the primary processing industry.
In 2016, 965 thousand cubic meters of roundwood were processed, 77% of which came from forest plantations, 17% from land and agriculture use, and 5% from forests.
From the summary of the National Forest Office (ONF) report :
As part of the results of this report, the primary wood processing industry, including stationary and portable units, is estimated to have processed 965,602 cubic meters of roundwood (m3-r).Of this volume, 745,267 m3-r (77.2%) came from forest plantations, 171,017 m3-r from land for agricultural use (17.7%) and 49,318 m3-r from forests (5.1%).Based on the above information, an increase of 0.9% is confirmed compared to the volume of logs reported in 2015.

As part of the results revealed in this report, it is estimated that the industry of primary wood processing, in both stationary and portable plants, processed 1,017,000 cubic meters of roundwood (m3-r). Of that amount, 788,666 m3-r (77.6%) come from forest plantations, 207,693 m3-r from land used for agricultural (20.4%) and 20,640 m3-r from forests (2%). This information confirms a 4.4% increase in volume compared to the amounts reported in 2013.
Entrepreneurs in the timber industry are complaining that excessive regulation and high production costs are preventing them from exploiting the productive capacity of the sector.
Today, three quarters of total wood consumption is grown in the country and the rest is supplied by imports, however, "... Regulations mean that only a small percentage of the productive capacity of Costa Rica is used. "
