China's forest areas cover 4.6% of the total in the world with 174.90 million hectares. The forest coverage only reaches 18.21%, far lower than the world average level of 61.52%. The forest reserves are 12.46 billion cubic meters and still not amount to 3% of the total reserves in the world. The forest area per capita is 0.132 hectares, not reaching 1 / 4 of the world average level. The forest reserves per capita are 9.421 cubic meters and do not reach 1 / 6 of the world average level. The forest reserves per hectare are only 84.73 cubic meters which is equal to 84.86% of the world average level. From the perspective of forest area per capita, China is short in the forestry resource and far behind other countries which have abundant forest resources.

In 2007, the output of timber was 69.7665 million cubic meters in China, up 5.52 per cent year-on-year, provided more timber supply for domestic market, amid 64,920,500 cubic meters of logs, increased 6.22 per cent year-on-year; 4.846 million cubic meters of fuel wood, decreased 3.10 per cent year-on-year.
