A production in growth.


The volume of wood of the forest limousine is in increasing increase, and it for several decades.

The wooden volume in forest is estimated at more than 150 millions of m3. It was multiplied by two in some decades.

1965: 81 m3 in the hectare
1992: 150 m3 in the hectare


Every year, the biological wooden production, that is the increase m3 560000 ha of forest, is 4,4 millions of m3.


This situation is mainly due to the youth of the coniferous populatings. Very quickly, the wooden harvest should increase to reach more than 3 million m3 / year, so supplying a raw material more important for the manufacturers of the wood.
