Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Measured in m3.
Analysis
Africa recorded 1.35 million m3 for plywood and lvl — production in 2024.
That represents a change of down 3.3% on the previous year and up 49.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, plywood and lvl — production in Africa peaked at 1.46 million m3 in 2022 and was at its lowest, 124,600 m3, in 1961.
That places Africa 10th out of 45 regions with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The database contains data on the production and trade in roundwood and in primary wood and paper products for all countries and territories in the world.The main types of primary forest products included in this database are roundwood, sawnwood, wood-based panels, pulp, and paper and paperboard. These products are detailed further and defined in the Joint Forest Sector Questionnaire (JFSQ) (https://www.fao.org/statistics/data-collection/forestry/en). The database contains details of the following topics: - roundwood removals (production) by coniferous and non-coniferous wood and assortments, - production and trade in industrial roundwood, sawnwood, wood-based panels, wood charcoal, pulp, paper and paperboard, and other products.
