Synopsis (short abstract) This paper presents projections of wood and wood product supply and demand to the year 2010. It discusses emerging developments in the availability and management of forest resources and in forest products processing and trade, which have the potential to affect forest products markets in the future. The paper concludes by discussing areas where the World Bank could justify involvement in the forestry sector on the basis of the sector's linkages to its key policy objectives of poverty alleviatio n, environmentally sustainable development and private sector development.
