Council of Agriculture Minister Lin Tsung-hsien stated that Taiwan's timber demand is 6 million cubic meters per year, but domestic timber accounts for only 0.8%, not even 1%, and he hopes that in the future it can double and grow every year, driving increases in local industry output value and job opportunities.
