From a summary of the study by the National Forestry Office (ONF):
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.
Wood processed in the forest industry is mainly used for the following applications: packaging 42.9%, construction 23.2%, 11.1% furniture, raw and sawed exports 20.5% and 2.3% for other uses (board manufacturing, car bodies, etc).
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.
Cheaper wood imports from Chile and an increasing demand for substitute products such as perling and gypsum are some of the reasons for the decline in local production.

The National Forestry Bureau has presented a report on the uses and contributions of timber, statistics 2011, which includes the latest study on timber prices.
From the Executive Summary of the report of the National Forestry Office (ONF):
In order to collect the data we created a census with industries that are part of the ONF database, taking into consideration a total population of 273 primary processing timber industries.
