About Cubic metres
The cubic metre (m³) is the SI unit for all international timber trade and FAO forest statistics. Global roundwood production > 4 billion m³/year (2022); sawnwood ≈ 500 million m³/year. European C24 structural timber priced in EUR/m³; CLT mass-timber buildings use 500-2,000 m³ of panels. FSC/PEFC chain-of-custody tracks certified fibre in m³. 1 m³ = 1 stere = 35.315 ft³ ≈ 423.8 bf.
