The line graph shows changes in the amount of timber, pulp, and paper produced, in million tonnes (mt), in one European country between 1980 and 2000.
Overall, the total production in the forest industry increased, with the figures for all three types of products showing growth, albeit to varying degrees. While pulp and timber showed significant fluctuations, paper showed the most significant rise, so much so that it became the most produced commodity in the industry.
Pulp and timber bore certain parallels in that both showed fluctuating patterns throughout the period. The former was the most produced forest product at the beginning of the period, with the figure standing at just under 6 mt while while the latter was produced in lower amounts, at 5 mt. They then went into opposite directions, with pulp production reaching a peak of 10 mt in 1985 and timber production plunging before staging a recovery to around 7mt over the same period. From 1985 onwards, the quantity of pulp produced first declined, almost halving to about 5mt in 1995, but then rebounded and dipped to just under 8m at the turn of the 21st century. Meanwhile, timber production generally showed an upward trend, almost doubling to shy of 10mt in 2000.
Paper was an outlier as it showed less variation for most of the period. It started as the least produced product at 4mt, but then showed consistent growth until 1995, when it overtook the other two products, standing at about 9mt. In the remaining period, the figure for paper dropped before recovering to a chart high of 12 mt, becoming the absolute leader in the industry.
