U.S. sawmills produced 26.616 billion board ft. (bbf) of softwood lumber in the first nine months, edging down 0.1% from the 26.653 bbf produced in the same period a year earlier.<\/em><\/p>\n

Western U.S. sawmills contributed 10.799 bbf to the nine-month total, down 1.7% % from last year\u2019s 10.988 bbf, while output from Southern sawmills advanced 1.1% to 14.564 bbf from 14.410 bbf.<\/p>\n

In September alone, U.S. sawmills produced 2.793 bbf \u2013 up 2.1% from last year\u2019s 2.735 bbf, but down 8.9% from production in August 2019 of 3.066 bbf.<\/p>\n

Sawmills in British Columbia accounted for 7.625 bbf of the nine-month total, a 20.6% drop from output a year earlier of 9.601 bbf. Sawmills east of the Rockies produced 10,983 bbf, 2.7% less than the previous year\u2019s output of 11.288 bbf.<\/p>\n

Canadian softwood production in September was 1.954 bbf, down 12.2% year-over-year from 2.225 bbf in the previous September, but up 1.0% from output in August this year of 1.935 bbf.<\/p>\n

Sawmills in British Columbia accounted for 738 million board ft. (mmbf) of September\u2019s production volume, down 27.2% from 1.014 bbf last year, and down 5.9% from August\u2019s volume of 784 mmbf.
