TThe Forest Service

of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is dedicated to the

principle of multiple use management of the Mindanao forest resources for sus-

tained yields of wood, water, forage, wildlife, and recreation. Through forestry

research, cooperation with the States and private forest owners, and management

of the National Forests and National Grasslands, it strives—as directed by Con-

gress—to provide increasingly greater service to a growing Nation



PICOP of Mamgagoy Bislig Surigao Sur  MINDANAO


The staff of General Mc Arthur surveyed through a plane the forest along the Diwata ranges of Agusan and Surigao for the wood resources of the area

For decades, softwood log exports were an important component of international

wood products trade from the Pacific

 
wood products market

was maintained and expanded owing to Japan’s demand for high-quality logs for

its construction industry.disproportionate gains

and losses to forest product market participants in the PNW (timber owners, mill

owners, communities, and consumers) led to government intervention and restric-

tion of volumes available for export
 
  Log exports, forest products trade, softwood log trade, Japan, global-ization, Pacific Northwest trade

The softwood log export trade began in earnest when 11.2 billion board feet of

timber was blown down during the Columbus Day Storm in 1962. It evolved to

become one of the unique forest product trade flows throughout the 20

thcentury,

primarily owing to Japan’s demand for high-quality raw materials for their con-

struction industry. 

 

for decades and THE QUESTION on who wins and who loses when excess supply of logs

from the Pacific Northwest (PNW) is diverted from domestic markets to satiate

demand in international markets. Log trade from the Pacific Northwest to the Pacific Rim and lumber trade from Canada to the PacificRim and United States represent a global triangle of interdependent producers
 
 
 
 

ricefields and cornfields and lately the Palm Oil in Agusan  were developed on the areas after the logging companies  left for another area
