How this figure is calculated
Primary wood and paper products (export/import) — Import value divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Primary wood and paper products (export/import) — Import value ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Primary wood and paper products (export/import) — Import value Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
