U.S. Wood Pellet Demand Thriving

January 10, 2020/0 Comments/in news-2020 /by Betsy Bates

Foreign demand for U.S. wood pellets continues to climb, with exports more than doubling between 2013 and 2018, growing from 2.99 million metric tons to 6.02 million, according to data from the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service.
