FSA Tonnage Analysis I.R.O. The 2009 Financial Year
Please find attached for your information, a PowerPoint
presentation (in two formats - one for presentations and one for photocopying)
which gives an analysis of the timber sales tonnages for the 2009 financial
year upon which FSA's levies were based.
The economic downturn, that really began to bite from
September 2008 onwards had, as one would expect, a negative impact on the
abovementioned timber sales.
On an optimistic note, members have indicated that likely
tonnage sales will pick up during the course of 2010.
