For dry land forests, it is found that average values of road density (combined main and ranck roads) is 13 mlha, commercial wood valume available for harvesting is 56 cu.mlha, and the realizalion of wood extraclion is 41 cu.mlha. An amount of commercial volume left unutilized in the forest (wood Waste) ir 15 cu.mlha. While in swamp forats, lhose figures are consecutively 11 mlha, 43 cu.mlha, 32.cu.mlha and 11 cu.mllta. Staitstctllly, all the above valuts of dry and swamp forests are not significanly different. The above facts imply shat, nationwide, the high level of commercial wood waste does occur. Our estimale shows thet the figure could reach at least 3.7 million cu.m per year.efforts need to be done by all parties concmed to reduce shat waste to the minimum level
