Abstract
The actual consumption of tropical timber in various countries is analysed with a view to determining empirically certain selection criteria. Such criteria may be particular to a country (aesthetic requirements, end-use needs) or generally accepted in all countries. They could facilitate the choice of substitute timbers, for instance for marketing. Additional market information is collected by this exercise, and a model is presented for this type of market research.
